New Delhi: Ireland’s right-arm pacer Max Sorensen has announced retirement from international cricket at the age of 31.

The Johannesburg-born cricketer made his debut in 2012 and went on to represent Ireland in 13 ODI’s and 26 T20 games, clinching 16 and 26 wickets respectively.

He leaves the gentlemen’s game with tremendous achievements in first class cricket, with 28 wickets at 19.57 

"At this stage of my career, I feel I need to move on with my life," Sorensen said. "I realise the likelihood of me getting back into the set-up is unlikely, with my various injuries and fluctuating performances in the past year or so. It's time for me to move forward and hang up the international boots. Once again I want to thank all involved with Irish cricket for their help and support - it truly means a lot."

Sorensen was a vital part of Ireland’s all three latest World Cup campaigns but shoulder injury saw him limit opportunities and played his final game for Ireland in 2016.
