Ireland - Trent Johnston to retire in Dec 2013

Former Ireland skipper Trent Johnston confirmed that he plans to retire from international cricket in December 2013.

Australian born Johnston has played 186 times for Ireland, appearing in both the 2007 and 2011 World Cups.

The 39-year-old, Johnston said: "It's becoming harder to recover after matches now, so much so that I can hardly walk for a couple of days."

"After a tour to the United Arab Emirates, it took me a full week to recover and my young son Charlie and daughter Claudia were having to pull on and off my socks, so that was quite embarrassing!
"I knew then my time was limited and, although it would have been great to play in another World Cup in Australia, it was just beyond me.
"It's time to move on to new things and gives (coach) Phil (Simmons) the chance to find somebody to replace me."
