West Indies captain Brian Lara has announced he will retire from all international cricket after Saturday's World Cup match against England.
The game against England will be his 299th one-day international but marks the end of the World Cup for both sides, who have failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
Lara's captaincy has come in for criticism but he said: "I hold West Indies cricket dear to my heart. It's been a good run and I've enjoyed every single day.
"I want to be remembered as a batsman who provided entertainment to the fans and in adversity tried my best to perform.
"At any point in time, if they need me to make a contribution [in the future] outside the playing field, I am willing to help. I played with some great players and whenever it's time to pay back, I will be there."
