This was unexpected

[al-Sagar]

oh no. at least he can play in NCL t20 or NCL FC/ODI, DPL as overseas player.

or may be time for him to be BD bowling coach or at least bowling consultant during England series

[Raynman]

he was my 2nd fave bowler of all time (after Sir Hadlee).

May be to stay fit for IPL?
Anyway, a bit surprised with his decision.

Huge loss for NZ cricket specially right before world cup. But I think he made the right call. Its better to go hang it up while you are at your prime rather than prolonging your career and then your form dips and you get dropped from the squad. Honestly I can see our Mashrafee hanging it up sometime soon, I hope if Mashrafee decides to do something like this he'll only do it for test and continue to play ODI's.

Salaam to Shane Bond! One of my all time favourite cricketers! A legend! Salute brother!
