James Tredwell retires from all forms of cricket

He began his career with Kent in 2000, and played 177 first-class matches, picking up 426 wickets and scoring 4728 runs.

For England, the 36-year-old spinner 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.

"I feel very grateful to have been able to represent both my county and my country during my career," Tredwell, who captained Kent in 2013, told the county's website. "I have had some great times on and off the cricket field but now it's time for both me and the club to move on.

"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.

"In closing though, I would like to take this opportunity to say that it has been an honour to play for Kent all these years and I would like to thank all staff, coaches, teammates and fans for their tremendous support over the years."

        "The dressing room will be a very different place without Treddy"

Paul Downton, the Director of Cricket at Kent, congratulated Tredwell, saying, "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.

"His commitment and loyalty to the County is admired by teammates and supporters alike - he is also hugely respected by his fellow professionals. The dressing room will be a very different place without Treddy and I would like to wish him all the very best for the future," said Downton.
