“After much consideration and reflection, I feel it is the right time for me to step away from representing my country on the cricket field.

“I am grateful for the incredible experiences, memories and friendships that I have made throughout my career. Representing Bermuda has been an honour and a privilege, and I am proud of all we achieved together.

“I want to thank my coaches, team-mates, friends, family and all the fans who have supported me over the years. Your encouragement and belief in me have meant the world and I will always cherish the time I spent wearing the Bermuda colours.

While this chapter may be closing, I am excited for the new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. I will always be a proud Bermudian and passionate supporter of our national team.

“Thank you once again for your support, and I look forward to continuing to cheer on the fellas from the sideline.”
