Aussie pace ace quits
Print Edition
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson said yesterday he was retiring from all forms of cricket as his body was “starting to shut down”, almost three years after he stepped down from the international game. The 36-year-old quit Twenty20 Big Bash League (BBL) team the Perth Scorchers last month, but had not ruled out playing in the Indian Premier League or other T20 domestic competitions. “It’s over. I’ve bowled my final ball. Taken my final wicket. Today I announce my retirement from all forms of cricket,” Johnson said. “I had hoped to continue playing in various Twenty20 competitions around the world until perhaps the middle of next year. But the fact is my body is starting to shut down.” Johnson said he experienced back problems during this year’s IPL program.
