Zimbabwe international bowler has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
He revealed the news at a virtual press conference in Harare.
Jarvis hurt his back against Sri Lanka in early 2020. Just as he was coming back, he then fell ill. So he started looking for life after cricket to take care of his family. He felt that he could come back for the third time.
The 32 year-old says he has recovered from both illness and back injuries. He says however made a decision and come to peace with it.
Jarvis said he felt he gave his best performance in international cricket in the last two years.
He is now going into business and the vehicle and restaurant industries.
Although he will not be playing, Jarvis says he intends to be involved with Zimbabwe Cricket in one way or the other, be it helping helping young bowlers or something else.
Such was his talent that, after impressing at the 2008 edition of the ICC Under-19 Men’s World Cup, Jarvis was fast-tracked into international cricket before he had even played first-class cricket as he made his one-day international (ODI) debut for Zimbabwe against Kenya on 12 October 2009.
He went on to make his Test bow against Bangladesh on 4 August 2011, before he played his first ever Twenty20 international (T20I) match against Pakistan on 16 September in the same year.
In August 2013, Jarvis quit international cricket to pursue a county contract with Lancashire in England.
After a successful stint in the county game, in September 2017 he returned to Zimbabwe to play international cricket again.
“Every day wearing the Zimbabwe badge is a highlight and I was very fortunate to be able to represent my country over a 10-year career,” Jarvis said.
“I will miss walking out onto the field in an international with a close group of friends.
“A special thank you to my friends, family, Zimbabwe Cricket and Lancashire County Cricket Club for all the support over the years.”
Jarvis played13 tests, 49 ODIs and 22 T20Is taking 132 wickets. That is 132 wickets in 84 matches.
