As per reports, the New Zealand cricket team is expected to honour and pay tribute to Guptill in NZ vs SL 3rd ODI in Auckland on Saturday. The batter had a memorable debut, smashing a ton against Sri Lanka in his very first ODI game. While he played his last ODI for New Zealand in 2022, he was a part of the side that suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the final of ODI World Cup 2019.
“As a young kid it was always my dream to play for New Zealand and I feel incredibly lucky and proud to have played 367 games for my country,” Guptill said in a statement.
