Ed Joyce announces retirement with immediate effect
Ed Joyce has announced his retirement from cricket with immediate effect, on Thursday (May 24). He made his Test debut in Ireland's inaugural Test against Pakistan earlier this month and has played 78 One-Day Internationals and 18 Twenty20 Internationals as well. He will now work as the batting coach and will oversee leadership development in the Irish performance system.
"I feel now is the right time to stop playing and get started on a new chapter. The recent Test match against Pakistan was such an incredible few days and was the perfect game for me to say was my last in professional cricket," said Joyce. "I am very grateful to Cricket Ireland for giving me the opportunity to get involved in the coaching set-up. I know I have a huge amount to learn about the art of coaching, but I know I also have a huge amount of knowledge that I'm determined to pass on to the next generation of Irish talent."
