Australian star batsman Chris Rogers who is in his prime form now confirmed the he will retire after the conclusion of fifth and final Test of the Ashes which will also be last for skipper Michael Clarke.
Rogers already announced his retirement plans and now confirmed in typically understated manner at Australia’s London hotel. Rogers will play his final Test this week, at a time when most will ask why rather than why not.
Remarkable consistency of Rogers over well past a decade in first-class cricket and two unexpected years in the Test team is testament to a thoughtful, unfashionable mode of batting that will more or less die out with his retirement.
