India batsman Ambati Rayudu has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket after being overlooked by the selectors for the Cricket World Cup squad, Indian media reported on Wednesday. Rayudu, who last played a one-day international (ODI) in March, was not picked in the 15-man World Cup squad. The 33-year-old was not considered as a replacement when India lost opener Shikhar Dhawan and Vijay Shankar to injuries, with Rishabh Pant and Mayank Agarwal called up instead. He played 55 ODIs, amassing 1,694 runs with three centuries at an average of 47. (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru, editing by Ed Osmond)
