5 wicket-keepers who were forced to retire due to injuries

#2 Saba Karim

Saba Karim's promising career was cut short by an injurySaba Karim represented India in 34 ODIs and one Test. His career didn't blossom the way he would have liked. He was a prolific runscorer in first-class cricket as evidenced by his tally of 7310 runs at a terrific batting average of 56.66.

Karim had a blistering start to his international career when he smashed 55 off 48 balls against South Africa at Bloemfontein in 1997. However, he couldn't score a single fifty thereafter and averaged 15.73. He effected 30 dismissals (27 catches, 3 stumpings) in ODIs aside from a solitary catch in Tests.

He injured his eye when Anil Kumble's delivery hit the batsman's boot and then struck him on his right eye during a game against Bangladesh in 2000 Asia Cup. Although he underwent surgery and further treatments abroad, he had to retire from the game.
