Knight quits one-day internationals
LONDON, April 27, 2003 (Reuters)
Opener Nick Knight announced on Sunday he was retiring from one-day international cricket having played his 100th match for England in their last World Cup appearance against Australia in March.
"I have decided to call it a day," the 33-year-old told Sky Sports.
"I've had a fantastic time and enjoyed every moment of it. I've been planning it for a while and it's something I've thought long and hard about recently. It'll be nice to spend some time at home and at Warwickshire."
Knight follows other senior England players like captain Nasser Hussain and fast bowler Andy Caddick into retirement from the international one-day game following the World Cup in South Africa in February and March.
"I was desperate to play in the World Cup having missed out on the last one, but I've got other challenges ahead of me," Knight said.
Knight, who is not retiring from test cricket, scored 3,637 runs in his 100 one-day internationals at an average of 40.41 including five centuries.
