Chris Rushworth: Former Durham and Warwickshire bowler retires

Advertisements

Warwickshire bowler Chris Rushworth has announced his retirement from professional cricket at the age of 39.

Rushworth spent most of his career at Durham and after making his first-class debut in 2010 he went on to become the county’s all-time leading wicket taker.

He spent the last three summers at Warwickshire, and ends his career with 676 first-class wickets in 176 matches.

Rushworth had agreed a one-year player-coach role with the Bears, but he only played two County Championship games in 2025 due to injury, and now he will now focus solely on developing young bowlers at Edgbaston.

“It’s not quite how I imagined finishing my playing days, but life isn’t a fairytale and my body has told me it’s time,” he said.
