Veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir said yesterday he would retire from one-day international cricket after the World Cup in England and Wales, which ends on July 14. But he said he would like to continue playing for South Africa in Twenty20 internationals.

Tahir, who will turn 40 later this month, played a starring role for South Africa, taking three for 26, in their eight-wicket win in the first ODI against Sri Lanka at the Wanderers on Sunday.
