Former New Zealand batsman Peter Fulton has announced his retirement from First Class cricket. The 38-year old Fulton played 23 Tests, 49 One-Day Internationals and 12 Twenty20 Internationals for New Zealand.
Fulton also finished as the highest run-getter in First Class cricket for Canterbury having scored 8719 runs.
“From making my debut, I never would have thought I would play this many times and achieve these records for Canterbury,” said Fulton.
“At that stage, I was just stoked to play one. When I was growing up I had dreams of playing for Canterbury and New Zealand, but when I was younger I didn’t think I was going to do it. I am very proud to have played that many games and experienced so much success with different Canterbury teams throughout my career,” he said.
He won the Plunket Shield with Canterbury on Saturday, in his 16th season, before announcing his retirement.
