Belfast, Jan 6: Ireland's middle-order batsman James Shannon on Monday announced his retirement from cricket. The 29-year-old right-hander had made his international debut for Ireland in 2012.

Shannon appeared 19 times for the national side and was also a member of Ireland's historic first men's Test in 2018. He finished his career as the second highest run scorer in the first class three-day competition after amassing 1,078 runs, averaging 34.77. His highest score was 140 not out against Leinster Lightning in first class cricket in 2017.
