Former New Zealand batter George Worker has announced his retirement from.professional Cricket at the age of only 34.

George Worker featured only in 12 international matches throughout his prolonged professional Cricket career. 
Worker had a very short stint in international arena, playing only 10 ODI's and two T20I's between 2015 and 2018. He has a tally of only 362 international runs. It started on a 2015 tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa where, on T20I debut, he won the Player-of-the-Match award for his brisk 38-ball 62 in Harare.

The ODI debut came on that same tour of Africa, and he got a bit of a run in his best format in 2017 when he played in Ireland and at home against West Indies, scoring all his three ODI half-centuries in that span.

More recently, Worker earned a call-up to New Zealand's ODI squad for their home series against New Zealand in March 2022. But unfortunately he didn't get any opportunity.
Overall, in 169 List A games, he piled up 6721 runs at a staggering average of 43.64 and a strike rate of 79.85 with 18 centuries and 37 half-centuries. His first-class (6400 runs at an average of 29.49) and T20 (3480 runs at a squalid strike rate of 123.57) numbers were less impressive.

"After a fulfilling 17-year journey in professional cricket, I am announcing my retirement from the sport. This decision marks the end of an incredible chapter of my life and the beginning of a new adventure," Worker, who started his professional career with Central Districts and ended it with Auckland, said. "Throughout the course of my career, I've forged some great friendships that will last a lifetime and memories I will cherish forever."
