Brad Haddin has announced retirement from Test cricket earlier today. The 37-year-old after being a part in the first Ashes Test against England dropped from the playing eleven for the rest of the series due to poor performances. Peter Nevill later replaced the New South Welshman.
Haddin says that he has planned to spend more time with his family after retirement.

Cricket will be a quieter place without Brad Haddin. Possibly even nicer. But who wants nice? Go well, thug.
