If such a return does not occur, the batman is marked as “retired out” and this is considered a dismissal for the purposes of calculating a batting average.

A lot of Scorers don’t seem to understand / interpret the cricket laws relating to ‘Retirement’ correctly. A batter is only ‘Retired’ at the instance of retiring. It becomes Retired Out or Retired Not Out only at the end of the innings, as the case may be. #IPL2022 #LSGvRR pic.twitter.com/Vm2yC3C64z
