Former England spinner James Tredwell has announced his retirement from cricket.

The 36-year-old made his debut for Kent in 2000 but has not featured for the county this season after undergoing surgery on a shoulder problem earlier this summer.

Tredwell has represented England in all three formats, playing two Tests, 45 one-day internationals and 17 T20s - with his last international appearance coming in 2015.

"I feel very grateful to have been able to represent both my county and my country during my career," said Tredwell, who confirmed his retirement on Monday.

"I have had some great times on and off the cricket field but now it's time for both me and the club to move on.

"I am looking forward to giving something back to the game I love, whether it be as an umpire or coach - I will see where each role takes me and I am excited by the challenge ahead.

"In closing though, I would like to take this opportunity to say that it has been an honour to play for Kent all these years and I would like to thank all staff, coaches, team mates and fans for their tremendous support over the years."
