New Zealand left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori has
announced his retirement from all forms of
international cricket, confirming that the ICC
World Cup 2015 final against Australia, which
New Zealand lost, was his final international
appearance.
"It was my last game for New Zealand so it was
a lovely way to finish," said Vettori, upon arrival
in Auckland. "To be able to finish in the final,
albeit without a win, I'm just very grateful for
the amount of support I had particularly from
Brendon [McCullum] and Mike [Hesson]. To be
able to get back from a number of injuries and
to be here and to be part of it ... is something
I'll always treasure."
Kane Williamson said New Zealand will miss the
services of a "world class" bowler like Daniel
Vettori. "Dan is obviously world class. There's
not a better spinner in the short forms of the
game. Just his experience in the group - he's
such a leader - and to play for such along time
and with so many different players is an
amazing thing. He's had a fantastic career. He's
a great bloke and he'll certainly be missed."
Daniel Vettori had a successful World Cup as he
picked up 15 wickets to end up as the joint
eight-highest wicket-taker of the tournament.
Along with Imran Tahir, Vettori also picked up
most wickets as a spinner in the 2015 event.
