So what is retired out?
According to ICC rules, a batsman may interrupt in T20
cricket, but must inform the referee.
According to MCC Law 25.4.3, "if a batter retires for
any reason other than as in 25.4.2 (retires because of illness, injury or any
other unavoidable cause), the innings of that batter may be resumed only with
the consent of the opposing captain. If for any reason his/her innings is not
resumed, that batter is to be recorded as 'Retired - out'."
