New Zealand's Daniel Vettori has announced his retirement from international cricket at the age of 36.
The off-spinner made his Black Caps debut against England in 1997, and played his last game in the World Cup final against Australia on Sunday.
He told reporters: "It was my last game for New Zealand, in the final, so it was a lovely way to finish. It would have been great to win, but I'm pretty proud of everyone, the way we've gone about things the last six weeks.
"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."
Vettori finishes with 362 Test match wickets and 305 wickets in one-day internationals.
