Here is how “retired hurt” differs from “retired out” is explained with clarity :
Retired hurt: If a batter retires during his innings because of injury, illness, or any other unavoidable reasons, he/she is considered retired hurt. In this case, he can resume his innings later in the game after at least one batter is dismissed following his departure from the crease. There have been multiple instances where a player has left the field after an injury only to join back after recovering a bit.
Retired out: If a batter retires during his innings for any reason other than injury, illness, or any unavoidable reasons, he/she is considered retired out. In this case, the player can resume his innings only with the consent of the opposing captain. Rare in professional cricket, the retired out practice is just a tactic to bring in a more suitable batter on the field. The concept has always been popular in gully cricket where someone who plays too many dot balls is asked to make way for another batter.
