New Zealand cricket legend Martin Guptill has bid farewell to international cricket, announcing his retirement on Wednesday after an illustrious 14-year career.
The 38-year-old white-ball star expressed heartfelt gratitude and immense pride as he reflected on his remarkable journey.
"As a young kid, it was always my dream to play for New Zealand, and I feel incredibly lucky and proud to have played 367 games for my country," Guptill said in a statement.
"I will forever cherish the memories made wearing the silver fern alongside a great group of guys. To my wife Laura and our beautiful children Harley and Teddy – thank you for your sacrifices and unwavering support. To the fans in New Zealand and around the world, I'm eternally grateful."
Guptill made his international debut in 2009 with a spectacular century in his first ODI match against the West Indies, becoming the first New Zealander to achieve this feat.
Over his career, he represented New Zealand in 367 games (198 ODIs, 122 T20Is, 47 Tests), scoring 23 centuries across all formats and setting numerous white-ball batting records.
He remains New Zealand's leading T20I run-scorer with 3,531 runs and ranks third on the country's all-time ODI run list with 7,346 runs, behind only Ross Taylor and Stephen Fleming.
Guptill's爆発的なバッティングスタイル and match-winning abilities captivated fans and earned him widespread recognition.
He played a pivotal role in several memorable moments for New Zealand cricket, including the team's run to the 2015 ODI World Cup final and the T20 World Cup triumph in 2021.
Currently captaining the Auckland Aces, Guptill plans to continue playing in T20 franchise cricket.
Reflecting on his journey, he expressed gratitude to his teammates, coaches, especially Mark O’Donnell, his long-time coach since the Under-19 level, and his manager Leanne McGoldrick for their unwavering support.
Guptill's contributions to New Zealand cricket have left an indelible mark, and his legacy as one of the nation's finest white-ball players will endure.
