Australian super star wicketkeeper Brad Haddin following Michael Clarke, Shane Watson and Chris Rogers, announced his retirement from cricket.
The 37-year-old cricketer, who retired from one-day cricket after Australia’s World Cup triumph earlier this year, kept wickets in 66 Tests, scoring 3,266 runs at an average of 32.98 and taking 262 catches with eight stumpings.
“I’d just like today to announce my retirement from Test cricket and first class cricket with New South Wales,” Haddin said. “I’ve enjoyed the 17 years and am comfortable with my decision.”
Haddin played his last match in the opening Test of the recently concluded Ashes series against England in Cardiff in July.
He missed the second Test to be with his seriously ill daughter and failed to regain his place in the side from Peter Nevill for the remainder of the series, which England won 3-2.
