David Wiese announces retirement from International Cricket following defeat to England in ICC World T20

In the post-match press conference, the Namibian star said, “The next year's T20 World Cup is still two years away, I'm 39 years old now, so in terms of international cricket, I don't know if there's much left in me. I still like to play the game for a couple more years, I feel like I've still got a lot to contribute and a lot to play. But I just feel like what better place to end a special career for me with Namibia”.

I've had a lot of good times with them and to play my last game for them possibly at a World Cup against a world-class team like England, it just seemed like the right time.” 

In the latter part of his career, Wiese switched his allegiance to Namibia. During his time with Namibia, he played nine ODIs, scoring 228 runs and also claimed six wickets. In T20Is for Namibia, Wiese featured in 34 matches, capturing 35 wickets with an impressive economy rate of 6.98. He also showcased his batting skills in the shortest format, accumulating 589 runs at a strike rate of 137.30.
