Best XI from the players who retired in 2018

#10 Morne Morkel (South Africa)

The tall South African bowler, Morne Morkel, hung up his boots in March 2018. With an ability to generate raw pace and adequate bounce, Morkel happened to be South Africa's most dreadful bowler across all the formats. Interestingly, de Villiers' final international game also happened to be his last game.

The lanky South African paceman starred in 86 Tests, 117 ODIs, and 44 T20Is. From 86 Tests, he grabbed 309 wickets, the fifth most for a South African bowler in Tests. Besides, he also took 188 ODI and 47 T20I wickets. All in all, he proved to be a complete performer for South Africa.
