Black Caps all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme has announced his retirement from international cricket, days after his shock selection in Australia's Big Bash League draft. The 36-year-old made the decision to bring down the curtain on his international career after 29 tests, 45 ODIs and 41 T20Is for the Black Caps. De Grandhomme said he'd cherished his time playing for the Black Caps and sharing in such a successful time for New Zealand cricket. Black Caps coach Gary Stead said it was sad to see de Grandhomme depart the international scene, but he understood his reasons. "Colin's been a hugely influential part of the Black Caps and contributed to some of the team's greatest achievements," he said.
