West Indies white-ball captain Kieron Pollard announced his retirement from international cricket on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old played 123 ODIs and 101 T20s for West Indies since making his debut in 2007, scoring 4,275 runs and taking 97 wickets in total.
He led the team 61 times in the two formats, of which they won 25.
The Trinidadian all-rounder was also part of the team that won the T20 World Cup in 2012.
"After careful deliberation, I've today decided to retire from international cricket," Pollard said in a video on Instagram.
"It was a dream of mine to represent the West Indies team from the time I was a boy of 10 years and I'm proud to have represented West Indies cricket for over 15 years in both the T20 and ODI forms of the game," he added.
Pollard is currently playing for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League and will feature for London Spirit in The Hundred later this year after being the first men's pick of the 2022 draft.
