South African all-rounder Shaun Pollock [Images] announced his imminent retirement from international cricket on Friday.
Pollock, 34, said the current third Test against West Indies [Images], his 108th Test, would be his last. But he said he would remain available for South Africa's five-match one-day series against West Indies.
"A few people have made me offers, but I haven't decided anything yet," Pollock told a news conference.
"I'd like to take at least a year off to be with my family."
Pollock was left out of the first six Tests South Africa played this season. He returned to take 4-35 in the first innings of the third Test.
Pollock made his Test debut against England [Images] at Centurion in 1995.
