Australian captain Michael Clarke announces retirement from test cricket
Constant scrutiny over his failing performance in the last twelve months and an Ashes loss to arch-rivals England, influenced his decision, reports said.
“It is the right time to walk away and give the next captain time to prepare for the next Ashes series," a teary eyed Clarke said at the post match presentation.
Clarke is expected to hang his boots after the conclusion of the fifth and last test match of the series.
