Australian all-rounder Shane Watson yesterday announced his retirement from tests effective immediately after another injury setback cut short his one-day international tour of Britain.

Watson sustained a series-ending calf injury in Saturday鈥檚 64-run one-day win over England at Lord鈥檚. A disappointing performance in his now-final test against England in Cardiff in July saw him dropped from the Australian side. He said yesterday he won鈥檛 attempt to regain a test spot. 鈥淚鈥檝e been through a lot of different waves of emotion about what is right for myself, my family and most importantly the team as well,鈥 Watson said. Watson, who made his test debut in January 2005, played 59 tests, scoring 3,731 runs at an average of 35.19, including four centuries. He also took 75 wickets.
