Aussie gloveman Brad Haddin retires from ODIs

The Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has officially announced his retirement from one-day International cricket.


The 37-year-old, who plays for Sydney Sixers in Big Bash League, has announced his immediate retirement, a day before leaving for four months tours of the West Indies and England. 

The World Cup winner has scored 3122 runs in 126 ODIs at an average of 31.53 including two centuries and 16 fifties to his name.

"I have had a privileged one-day career and I have been fortunate enough to be involved in three World Cups and now is the right time to walk away," The gloveman said.

"Not many players get to write a script like mine at the end of their careers and I have been lucky enough to do just that after winning a World Cup on home soil.

"I leave the team with Australia ranked No. 1 in the world and I am proud of everything we have achieved.”

Haddin, who made his ODI debut in 2001, will continue to represent Australia in Tests.
