Australian legendary pacer Mitchell Johnson has retired from all forms of international cricket.
The 37-year-old pacer is currently playing his last match of his career against New Zealand.
The Australian paceman announced his decision to teammates before the fifth day of the Perth Test.
Johnson will retire as Australia’s fourth-highest Test wicket taker (311), behind only Shane Warne (708), Glenn McGrath (563) and Dennis Lillee (355).
He ranks 25th among Test wicket-takers from all nations.
“I feel now is the best time to say goodbye,” Johnson said in a release.
“I have been lucky enough to have had a wonderful career and enjoyed every moment of playing for my country. It’s been an incredible ride.
“But the ride has to come to an end at some point and to do so here at the WACA is very special.”
