I have never felt more proud than wearing the New Zealand jersey, and the fact that I have been able to do that 123 times across all formats is something I will always be incredibly proud of. Although it has been a long time since my last appearance, I never lost hope that I would be able to regain my franchise T20 form. “Now is the right time to officially close that chapter with the announcement of the Blackcaps squad for the T20 World Cup.”
