New Zealand all rounder Scott Styris has announced his retirement from international cricket, saying he wanted to concentrate on the domestic T20 competition and the IPL.
Scott Styris said the Black Caps were entering a new era under skipper Ross Taylor, who was appointed this week, and the time was right to leave the international Cricket.
The 35-year-old, who is currently playing T20 for English county side Essex, said he would continue to play domestic cricket for New Zealand's Northern Knights and the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.
"I really enjoy the T20 format of the game and see it as a way to stay involved in cricket for another year or two if I can," he said.
"Not being on the international circuit means more time at home and I'm really looking forward to spending more time with my family."
