Auckland: Veteran left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori, the most capped ODI player for New Zealand, today bid adieu to the 50-over format, completely ending an 18-year career in the game during which he won plaudits for being an inspiring leader.

The 36-year-old, whose ODI future was a subject of speculation at the end of New Zealand's superb World Cup campaign during which the team made the final, said it was time to call it a day. Vettori has already retired from Tests and Twenty20 cricket.
