Former Zimbabwe captain and wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon Taylor has decided to retire from international cricket and will be seen playing his final match against Ireland on Monday. Taylor made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka in 2004 and has become one of Zimbabwe's best cricketers in international cricket.

In a statement on Twitter, Brendan Taylor said, "With a heavy heart, I am announcing that tomorrow is my last match for my beloved country. 17 years of ups and downs, I'm not going to change it for the world. It has taught me to be humble, always to remind myself how lucky I was in the situation. To wear badges with pride and leave everything on the field. Continuing, Taylor said, "My goal was always to leave the team in a better position because when I first came in 2004, I hope I did it."

The 34-year-old batsman has emotionally responded to Zimbabwe cricket, teammates, family and fans on Sunday. Brendan adds: "Finally, for my wife and our four beautiful children." You have all supported me in the journey and it was difficult for me everything without you. Not only that, he adds: I love all of you very much.  Let us tell you that Taylor has scored 6677 runs in 204 ODIs and is just 112 runs short of former Zimbabwe batsman Andy Flower's national record of 6786.''
