South African star Jonty Rhodes has confirmed that he will be retiring from first-class cricket at the end of the English county season.
"I'm done, I've been playing for 14 years and I've enjoyed every day at the office, and have no regrets whatsoever," he said yesterday.
Rhodes, 34 and currentlyplaying for Gloucestershire, is expected to make use of his business degree, having received five job offers for non-cricketing work.
He played 52 tests and 245 one-day internationals for South Africa after making his debut at the 1992 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
He averaged 35 in both forms of the game, but was best known for his brilliant fielding.
