Surrey and England all-rounder Zafar Ansari has retired from cricket at the age of 25, saying he has “other ambitions that I want to fulfil”.
Ansari made his Test debut for England in October, against Bangladesh, before playing two Tests against India, reports BBC Sport.
The left-arm spinner played 71 first-class games, taking 128 wickets.
“After seven years as a professional cricketer and almost two decades in total playing, I have decided to bring my cricket career to an end," he said.
He added: "While the timing may come as a surprise, I have always maintained that cricket was just one part of my life and that I have other ambitions that I want to fulfil.
“With that in mind, I am now exploring another career, potentially in law, and to achieve this I have to begin the process now.”
Ansari, who has a double first in politics, philosophy and sociology from Cambridge University and a Master's degree in history from Royal Holloway, has been at Surrey since the age of eight.
Ansari claimed 2-76 on Test debut against Bangladesh in October.
He made his England debut in a one-day international against Ireland in 2015 before being called up to England's Test squad to play Bangladesh and India in 2016 - a tour he has said came too early for him.
The all-rounder played just one of Surrey's three County Championship matches this season following injury, scoring three runs and failing to take a wicket in a draw with Lancashire. Surrey's director of cricket, Alec Stewart said: “Zafar's exceptionally tough but considered decision is one that we should all respect and understand.
“To retire at such a young age when his cricket career was progressing very nicely, earning a Test debut against Bangladesh last winter, proves that he has given great thought in deciding to walk away from the professional game.”
