South African all-rounder Dwayne 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 towards the end of his career.
Pretorius said he would continue to play in domestic T20 leagues around the world.
“Being a free agent will help me achieve my goal of becoming the best player in the shortest format,” he said in a statement. “By doing this I will be able to better balance my career and family life.”
Pretorius made his international debut in 2016 and holds the record for the best bowling figures by South Africa in T20 Internationals with 5-17 against Pakistan in 2021.
