Long serving former international batsman Jamie How is to retire from all cricket.
How will step aside from Central Districts after the one-day Ford Trophy competition ends on February 1.
How played 19 tests, 41 ODIs and five T20s for New Zealand is to take up a fulltime role with Toyota New Zealand.
"These are never easy decisions to make but the time has come to embrace an opportunity outside cricket," How said.
His career has spanned 15 years, perhaps highlighted by a terrific 139 against England in an ODI in Napier in 2008, his only international century.
