It came as sudden news from Australian all-rounder Shane Watson when he announced on Sunday, 29th September that he is putting an end to his Test cricket career, as he has been battling against his constant injuries that have wrecked his career badly. It is tough for him to beat over his injuries and thus decided to stop playing any more Test cricket matches.

Watson, 34-year old, upheld a calf injury in One-day victory on Saturday over England which finished his Cricket Australian [CA] tour, and the next day he stated about his decision.

Shane Watson had played 59 Test matches starting in 2005, scoring 3731 runs at 35.19 and also picking 75 wickets at 33.68.  He said, “I announce my retirement from Test cricket with a heavy heart. I’ve given my every effort to be the best I can be, mentally, physically, and technically. Even as I’ve not always gained the personal goals I have set for myself in Test cricket, but it is actually more than what I ever dreamed of playing in more than 50 Tests and to have captained my country.” His announcement came as a shock for his fans and lot of people across the world shared their comments on Twitter hearing this news.

Shane Watson is undoubtedly an amazing cricketer achieving high runs in every match. Throughout his career, he gave his best shot while batting, and was very popular among his team as a brilliant batsman and bowler. He was the golden boy of Australian cricket. But because of his injuries including regular hamstring and back injuries, he lost his position at the top batting order and also his bowling. It achieved him 75 test wickets, and he was the main valuable batsman in the team.

Watson will be playing for One-days, and Twenty20 Internationals, and may be IPL season too. So his fans can still watch him play his cricket. His last Test was at Cardiff as Ashes opener before he was being left out from Australian side that lost the series against England by 3-2 last month.

Watson conveyed, “I’ve noticed on this tour that the young Australian cricketers of next generation are all prepared to take over the game forward. I hope to carry on representing my country in shorter formats of the game, and believe in still contributing greatly.”

Even Michael Clarke and Chris Rogers of Australia’s losing Ashes party have proclaimed their international retirements.

Coach Darren Lehmann said, “Watson is an excellent contributor to the tam on as well as off the field, and an immensely talented cricketer and a good thinker on the game too. He has executed so much work with our younger players and helped them, and it has astounded me completely.”
