Ireland all-rounder Kevin O’Brien has announced his retirement from one-day international cricket.
O’Brien made his debut in 2006 and amassed 3,618 runs and 114 wickets in his 153 appearances.
The 37-year-old holds the record for the fastest century in ICC World Cup history, hitting 100 runs in just 50 balls against England in 2011.
“It has been an honour and a privilege to represent my country 153 times,” said O’Brien.
“The memories I take from them will last a lifetime”.
The Dubliner, who featured in three World Cups for Ireland, will continue to play T20 and Test cricket.
His ODI tally of 114 wickets is the highest in Ireland’s history while his 3,618 runs puts him third in Ireland’s all-time list.
O’Brien also finishes with Ireland’s most number of catches in the field (68) in ODI cricket, and captained the side on four occasions, registering three wins.
