Hampshire and England bowler Turner retires aged 25

Hampshire and England fast bowler John Turner has retired from cricket because of persistent injuries.

The 25-year-old has not played for his county since last summer due to a stress fracture in his back.

Turner, who was born in South Africa, represented England in two one-day internationals and two T20 games at the end of 2024 during their tour of the West Indies.
