New Zealand allrounder Colin de Grandhomme has announced his retirement from international cricket. He said factors such as injuries and increasing competition in the national side across all three formats forced the move.
“I accept I’m not getting any younger and that the training is getting harder, particularly with the injuries,” he said. “I also have a growing family and am trying to understand what my future looks like post-cricket. All of this has been on my mind over the past few weeks.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to play for the Black Caps since debuting in 2012, and I’m proud of my international career – but I feel this is the right time to finish.”
De Grandhomme started his international career in a T20I against Zimbabwe in Auckland in 2012, and last turned out for New Zealand in the Lord’s Test against England this June.
