New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson has called time on his international career and signed a three-year deal with USA’s Major League Cricket (MLC).

“It’s been a huge honour and (I am) extremely proud to represent New Zealand,” Anderson was quoted as saying by

‘Cricbuzz’.

 

Anderson regretted not playing more for New Zealand. “I would have loved to have achieved and played more but just is what it is sometimes, and different opportunities arise and send you in a direction you never thought would be a possibility. Very appreciative for everything that NZC has done for me.”

 

Anderson also featured in the IPL for Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, and was part of the New Zealand squad that finished runner-up at the 2015 World Cup.
