South Africa all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius retired from international cricket on Monday.
The 33-year-old Pretorius played three Tests, 27 one-day internationals and 30 Twenty20s for the Proteas and became a limited-overs specialist late in his career.
Pretorius said he will continue to play in domestic T20 leagues around the world.
“Being a free agent will help me achieve my goal of being the best shortstop I can be,” he said in a statement. “By doing this I will be able to have a better balance in my career and family life.”
Pretorius made his international debut in 2016 and holds the record for the best bowling figures by a South African in T20 Internationals with 5-17 against Pakistan in 2021.
He also represented the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.
