 Jeremy Bray of Ireland hits out during the ICC World Twenty20 match between Ireland and Bangladesh in 2009
Batsman Jeremy Bray has retired from international cricket after making 83 appearances for Ireland.

The 36-year-old scored seven international centuries in a total of 2812 runs for his country at an average of 31.95.

"I'm not getting any younger, and it's hard to get up to the levels of fitness now required for international cricket," Bray said.

"The team has an incredibly demanding schedule over the next few years, and I couldn't commit myself fully to that programme".

Originally from Australia, Bray was the Man of the Match in the 2007 Intercontinental Cup final against Canada.

He is the sixth member of the 2007 squad to quit the Ireland team.

Paul Mooney, Peter Gillespie, Dave Langford-Smith and Kyle McCallan have all retired, while Eoin Morgan chose to compete for England.
