Borren calls time on Netherlands career

Netherlands captain  Peter Borren , 34, has retired from international cricket with immediate effect.  Pieter Seelaar , the 30-year old left-arm spinner, will take over the captaincy. Jeroen Smits, the former Netherlands wicketkeeper, has been appointed the new team manager. Borren had been captain since July 2010, when he took over the role from Smits. Among teams that currently have at least ODI status, the only players with longer ongoing captaincy reigns are Ireland's William Porterfield, and Nepal's Paras Khadka.
