Sydney: Joining the mass exodus of players quitting international cricket, Australian allrounder Brad Hogg announced his retirement on Tuesday.
The spinner said he was leaving the international arena after next week's tri-series finals against India but would consider playing in Australia's domestic first-class competition for another year.
"My career started against India and I thought if I can play Test cricket against India that would be fantastic," Hogg told reporters.
"I wanted to fight to get back in there and I did it and I achieved what I wanted to achieve."
The 37-year-old joins the likes of Adam Gilchrist and Shaun Tait, in being the third Australian in the past month to retire from international cricket.
