He had featured in just one T20 Blast game for the first team this season.

"It wasn't an easy decision to retire, but something I'd been considering for a while and I feel now is the time to move on," he told the club website., external

"I'm excited to get stuck in to the next chapter, and to pursue something away from playing cricket.

"I want to express my huge gratitude to everyone at Yorkshire. The club is filled with great people throughout, and everyone has always been there for me through the ups and downs."
