Colin de Grandhomme announces retirement from international cricket (PC: Twitter)
New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme’s sudden retirement from international cricket has once again sparked a heated debate in the cricket fraternity over franchise cricket. Grandhomme surprised the New Zealand cricket fraternity on Monday by appearing in the player draft for Big Bash League.
The Kiwis don’t allow their centrally contracted players to feature in the Australian T20 league. Thus, following a series of discussions between New Zealand Cricket and the all-rounder, the authorities announced his retirement while releasing him from the national contract.
