Nehra was brought in to the T20 side for the three-match series against Australia after a gap of eight months.But he was not played in the first two games.
It is learnt Nehra had a word with the captain and team management on Wednesday afternoon. “He (Nehra) called the entire squad and said he is calling it quits from international cricket. Nehra requested that he sho uld be allowed to play his last game at his home ground in Delhi,“ a source told TOI.
There is speculation that not making the playing XI in the first two games against the Aussies could have triggered the decision. But a top BCCI official said Nehra had already planned his retirement. “The team eased him back into top-flight cricket. He has not played after getting injured in the last IPL.

Nehra has had an injury-plagued career spanning 18 years. The frequent injuries forced him to retire from Test cricket 10 years ago. He was part of two successful ODI World Cup campaigns -2003 and 2011. He was ignored by the selectors despite taking 233 against Pakistan in the 2011 World Cup semifinal. That was his last ODI.
