New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme on Wednesday announced his retirement from international cricket with reports suggesting the 36-year-old had taken the decision after being the surprise pick in Australia`s Big Bash League (BBL) Draft held recently. De Grandhomme, a veteran of 29 Tests, 45 ODIs and 41 T20Is, was selected by the Adelaide Strikers ahead of the BBL-12 season to be part of their squad for the Australian domestic T20 tournament.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) was surprised when Adelaide Strikers` chief coach Jason Gillespie picked de Grandhomme in the Draft, as the player was contracted to the country`s cricket board and thus ineligible to play in the BBL. On Wednesday de Grandhomme made the decision to retire from international cricket after discussing the issue with NZC, with the two parties agreeing a release from his central contract, according to ICC.
