England pace bowler Andrew Caddick retired from international one-day cricket on Friday.

The 34-year-old Somerset player, who led England's attack at the World Cup in South Africa, will continue playing Test cricket.

In a statement, Caddick said he wants to give younger bowlers a chance to establish themselves before the next World Cup in 2007.

His decision follows Nasser Hussain's resignation as England's one-day international skipper.
