West Indies pace bowler Jerome Taylor has announced his retirement from Test cricket, according to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).

Taylor, whose Test career spanned 13 years, will still be available for selection in limited overs cricket.

Taylor made his Test debut against Sri Lanka as an 18-year-old in 2003, but despite brimming with potential, injuries and poor form hindered his career and he subsequently spent nearly five years out of the Test team between 2009 and 2014.

The 32-year-old, who played his last Test against Australia in January this year, represented the West Indies in 46 Tests and took 130 wickets at an average of 34.46.
