Steve Waugh, the most successful Test skipper in the history of the game of cricket, has announced his retirement from international competition after the upcoming series with India.
Waugh, the most capped player in the sport's history and its second highest run-scorer after a Test career spanning 19 years, said Wednesday he had advised Cricket Australia of his intention to end his international career after the fourth Test in January.
"The upcoming Sydney Test will be my last for Australia should I be selected to play," the Sydney-born 38-year-old batsman told a packed news conference.
He said his present form of fitness suggested he could play on, but added: "All good things must come to an end and I believe Sydney is a perfect place to finish."
Waugh had been expected to push on to try to achieve the elusive goal of a series victory in India, but said preferred to end his Test career in front of his home crowd in Sydney.
