Sydney, 26.03.2003 (Press Trust of India): Australian Test captain Steve Waugh, one of the greatest batsmen in cricketing history who also won millions of Indian hearts for his charity work, today announced his retirement from international competition at the end of the upcoming series in India.
The 38-year-old Waugh, a living legend who turned the Australians into an invincible team in world cricket, will bring his illustrious 19-year-old career to an end after the fourth Test in early January.
“My present form and fitness suggests I could play on but all good things must come to an end and I believe Sydney is the perfect place,” Waugh told a press conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground, televised live throughout Australia.
