7. Recently it was said he is to retire after Sydney test against India for his Country and also said “You never say never, but I kind of looked at the future and thought the England series and what England has meant for me would be a nice way to finish. So, hopefully I can get through to the Ashes. But if this is the last one then it’s definitely not the worst one to go out on.You get to a point where touring can be quite difficult. Playing a lot of cricket can kind of get to you a little bit in the end. So, I’m looking forward to maybe new challenges as well, but they can wait for the moment”.
