Boyd Rankin retires

Fast bowler Boyd Rankin has announced his retirement from cricket at the age of 36.

He's Ireland's second highest wicket-taker of all-time across the formats and represented his country across 18 years.

The Derry native was part of the team which beat Pakistan at the 2007 World Cup and England four years later and he made history by taking Ireland's first test wicket.

Rankin also played seven One-Day Internationals, two Twenty20s and in an Ashes Test for the English team during a time when Ireland wasn't a test nation.
