James Tredwell, the England off-spinner, announced retirement from all form of cricket. The 36-year-old Kent cricketer took this decision on Monday stating that it's time for both him and the club to move on.
In a conversation with County’s website, Tredwell said, “I feel very grateful to have been able to represent both my county and my country during my career. I am looking forward to giving something back to the game I love, whether it be as an umpire or coach – I will see where each role takes me and I am excited by the challenge ahead.”
Kent Director Paul Downton congratulated the English cricketer on his farewell and said, “James has made an outstanding contribution to Kent in all formats throughout an incredibly successful career and I would like to congratulate him on all that he has achieved.”
Tredwell began his domestic career back in 2000 with the Kent County Cricket Club and played 177 first-class matches. He picked 426 wickets and scored 4728 runs.
He played his first match for England in 2010 against Bangladesh. He featured in two Tests, 45 one-day internationals and 17 Twenty20 Internationals, and made his last international appearance in a T20I game against India in 2014. He finished his international career with 78 wickets to his name.
