Ireland all-rounder Kevin O'Brien on Tuesday announced his retirement from international cricket, leaving a lasting legacy on the game.

Making his debut for Ireland in 2006, O'Brien was a central figure in his team's rise from Associate Membership to Test match status across a career that spanned close to two decades. O'Brien bows out with a number of batting records, and as Ireland's leading wicket taker in the ODI format, claiming 114 scalps at an average of 32.68 and an economy rate of 5.20.
