Peter Siddle announces retirement from international cricket

Australian pacer Peter Siddle, who is a part of on-going Test series against New Zealand, announced his retirement on Sunday after being overlooked in the on-going Test.

The veteran, who represented the country for more than a decade, returned to MCG to announce the news to the teammates on Sunday.

An emotional Siddle was seen hugging the players as he announced his retirement.

“The Ashes was the main goal to get on that tour and be part of that series,” Siddle said today on Fox Cricket.

“I’d been chatting to (Tim Paine) and (Justin Langer) through that series, and I could have done it (retired) after that. But the chance of maybe getting a to play again at home, it would have been nice, but I can be content.

“I’m very happy but a bit sad.

“As a young kid, I wasn’t super talented. I had to work hard for it. Being able to walk out with a Baggy Green and represent Australia …

“Just chatting to the boys, the three fast bowlers in this Test, I played in all their debuts, that’s part of the reason, they’re a lot younger than me, and I love watching them play.”

Earlier this week, Siddle helped Strikers to win a final-over thriller in the BBL.
