Australian keeper Haddin retires from test cricket

Brad Haddin announced his retirement from test and domestic first-class cricket yesterday, joining the exodus of senior players following Australia’s Ashes series loss in England.

The wicketkeeper-batsman, who retired from one-day internationals after Australia’s World Cup victory in March, was left out of the third test at Trent Bridge after being granted permission to miss the second test to be with his ill daughter. Australia lost the third and fourth tests to surrender the Ashes, and Haddin left the tour early to return to Australia. The 37-year-old Haddin joins former captain Michael Clarke, opener Chris Rogers and allrounder Shane Watson in retiring from test and international competition since Australia’s 2-3 Ashes defeat. Haddin played 66 tests, scoring 3,266 runs at an average of 32.98. In terms of dismissals, his 270 as a wicketkeeper are behind only Adam Gilchrist (416), Ian Healy (395) and current chairman of selectors Rod Marsh (355) for Australia.
