New Zealand pace bowler Kyle Mills announced his retirement from all cricket Wednesday, following Daniel Vettori in calling it quits after the World Cup final.

Mills was consistently ranked among the world’s top 10 one-day bowlers throughout his illustrious 14-year career, and for a long time was ranked number one.

“It’s been an honour and privilege to play cricket for my country over the past 14 years and I will miss it greatly,” the 36-year-old said.

“However the time is right for me to step away from playing this great game and devote more time to my family who have sacrificed so much for me to keep playing the game I love.”

Mills represented New Zealand in 170 ODIs and took 240 wickets to be the Black Caps’ second highest wicket-taker in the shortened game behind Vettori, who took 297.
