13 November 2024
Wicketkeeper Michael Burgess has announced his retirement from cricket. Burgess – who had a year left to run on his Edgbaston contract – has left the Club by mutual consent after deciding to pursue a career away from cricket. The 30-year-old, from Epsom, made 130 appearances for the Bears across all formats. “It’s been a very difficult decision," he said. "I know it will come as a surprise to many people around the Club. But I’ve decided the time is right to step away from the game and pursue other opportunities. “I’d like to thank all the Members, fans and wider Club for their support over the last six years. Warwickshire is a brilliantly supported club and the Members make it a great place to play cricket." Warwickshire Performance Director Gavin Larsen said the decision came as a shock but was one the Club had to respect. “On one hand it’s extremely disappointing to lose a player of Michael’s experience,” added Larsen, “but also we recognise all player’s careers come to close at some point and Michael has decided now is it the time for ‘life after cricket’."
