Bell finished his career with 20,440 first-class runs, including 57 centuries.
Bell said in a statement announcing his retirement: “It’s true when they say you know when the time’s right, and unfortunately, my time is now.“While my hunger and enthusiasm for the sport that I love remain as strong as ever, my body simply can’t keep up with the demands of the game to the standard of which I expect of myself.”
“It’s been an absolute privilege and honour to fulfil my boyhood dream of playing for both England and Warwickshire. As a child, to play just once for either would have been enough for me, but to do so for the past 22 years is more than I could have ever wished for. “To have spent my entire career and won trophies with my boyhood club is something both myself and my family are enormously proud of. To everyone associated with the club; the staff, players, fans and anyone I’ve worked with during this time: thank you.”
Bell added that he was offered a new deal but could not sign on the dotted line because he “couldn’t disrespect the club I love by being unable to play to the level they deserve”.
