England fast bowler John Turner retires from cricket at 25

England fast bowler John Turner has announced his retirement from professional cricket at the young age of 25, citing injuries as the primary reason for his decision. Turner, who represented both Hampshire and England in various formats, suffered a back stress fracture that sidelined him for over a year, contributing to his retirement.
Despite having two years left on his county contract and an ECB development contract, Turner chose to end his cricketing career, stating that his injury history made it the right time to pursue his next challenge. Turner expressed gratitude for the support he received from Hampshire and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), emphasizing that his five years with Hampshire were the greatest of his life.
