I believe trent johnston has retired because he is getting more money to play club cricket . it is sad to see his mercenary tendancies have taken over. i would have thought he would be keen to play for his country as long as possible. but i suppose money talks

Ireland need all the experience they can get and I am not pleased to hear this news. Even if he isn't around for much longer, he can assist younger players coming through with his knowledge. Come on ICC help these fledgling nations a little more to keep players in their national teams for longer.
