Mills follows Vettori lead

PACE bowler Kyle Mills has followed teammate Daniel Vettori into retirement from international cricket after New Zealand’s loss to Australia in Sunday’s World Cup final.

While Vettori, who announced his retirement when the team returned to Auckland on Tuesday, has kept open the possibility of playing Twenty20 tournaments, Mills, 36, said he had retired completely from all forms of cricket after a 14-year career. A medium pacer, Mills made his international debut in a one-day match against Pakistan in 2001 before making his test bow in 2004 against England. Mills played 19 tests with the last of those coming six years ago in Hamilton against India. However, he became a one-day specialist and played 170 matches, finishing with 240 wickets, second only to Vettori among New Zealand bowlers.
