The 36-year-old's last appearance for the Black Caps came in Sunday's World Cup final defeat by Australia.

Vettori played 113 Test matches, 295 one-day internationals and 34 Twenty20 internationals, taking 705 wickets, as well as scoring 6,989 runs.

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum had hinted that the World Cup final in Melbourne would be the last international game for Vettori.

"It was my last game for New Zealand, so it was a lovely way to finish," he said. "It would've been great to win, but I'm pretty proud of everyone."

"We're going to lose one of our all-time great players," said McCullum after the game. "We're also going to lose a great bloke from the (team) environment as well so he's going to be very hard to replace.

"We'll have a nice celebration for him and we'll be able to toast the success of his career and his impact on this game. We've been lucky to have the privilege of playing with him."

Vettori's World Cup ended on a low note, but he impressed throughout the tournament, taking 15 wickets at an average of 20.46 and with an economy rate of just 4.04 runs per over.
