Now you might have a question in your mind that you have heard and seen many times about retiring hurt but what is this retiring out. We will tell you about both the rules and what is the difference between them.

What is the retired hurt rule?

During retired hurt, any batsman leaves the field after getting injured. If a player gets injured while batting, he can leave the field and in such a situation he will be called retired hurt. A retired hurt batsman can come back to bat anytime during his team's innings.

What is the retired out rule?

Retired out is a completely different rule. In this, when a batsman leaves the field on his own or the captain's wish, he is called retired out. If a batsman is not injured and despite this he leaves the field on his own will, then he will be considered retired out. A retired out batsman cannot come to bat again.
