Australian-born former Ireland captain Trent Johnston announced on Monday that he plans to retire from international cricket in December thailand real estate.

Johnston has played 186 times for Ireland, appearing in the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, but the pace bowler admits the strain of competing at the highest level is starting to take its toll.

The 39-year-old will call time on his international and representative career after the ICC Intercontinental Cup final in Dubai in December, following the World Twenty20 qualifiers.

"It's becoming harder to recover after matches now, so much so that I can hardly walk for a couple of days," Johnston said.

"After a tour to the United Arab Emirates, it took me a full week to recover and my young son Charlie and daughter Claudia were having to pull on and off my socks, so that was quite embarrassing!

"I knew then my time was limited and, although it would have been great to play in another World Cup in Australia, it was just beyond me.

"It's time to move on to new things and gives (coach) Phil (Simmons) the chance to find somebody to replace me hong kong company registry."

After starting his career with NSW, Johnston first played club cricket in Ireland in 1995 and returned for four more seasons, meeting his wife Vanessa during that time.

He eventually qualified for an Irish passport and enjoyed so much success on the field that he is third on the all-time list of Ireland's leading wicket-takers with 264 at 23.13.

He is one of only three Ireland players to have taken a hat-trick and has scored 2398 runs, including 10 half-centuries.

Johnston also famously hit the winning runs when Ireland earned a sensational upset of Pakistan at the 2007 World Cup.

Ireland coach Phil Simmons was quick to pay tribute to Johnston's impact on the team since his international debut in May 2004.

"Trent has been one of the pillars of this team. He's been incredibly consistent and gotten vital wickets at crucial times spearheading the bowling unit," Simmons said.

Johnston hopes to stay in cricket in a coaching capacity.
