Colin Munro retires from international cricket

New Zealand's Colin Munro bid farewell to international cricket, announcing his retirement after playing 123 international matches. 

Renowned for his aggressive batting, Munro last played a T20I against India in 2020. He has scored over 3000 runs and taken 7 wickets in his international career for New Zealand, playing 65 T20Is, 57 ODIs, and 1 Test match.

In international T20 cricket, Munro has scored the sixth-highest runs for New Zealand, totaling 1724 runs with an average of 31 and a strike rate of 156.4. He holds the record for the third-highest century for New Zealand in this format.

Munro has been part of New Zealand's ICC Under-19 World Cup squad in 2006. He made his debut in all formats during the South Africa tour in the 2012-13 season.

He has been a reliable name for the Kiwis in white-ball cricket, representing them in the T20 World Cups of 2014, 2016, and the Cricket World Cup in 2019.

While bidding adieu to international cricket, Munro will continue playing franchise cricket globally.
