News Shane Watson announces retirement from Test cricket

[Deepu]

Australian allrounder Shane Watson on Sunday announced his retirement from Test cricket effective immediately after another injury setback cut short his one-day international tour of Britain.

Watson sustained a series-ending calf injury in Saturday's 64-run win in the 2nd ODI over England at Lord's.

A disappointing performance in his now-final Test against England in Cardiff in July saw him dropped from the Australian side. He said Sunday he won't attempt to regain a Test spot.

"I've been through a lot of different waves of emotion about what is right for myself, my family and most importantly the team as well," Watson said in a Cricket Australia statement.
