Pacer James Pattinson announces retirement from international cricket

Australian fast bowler James Pattinson has announced his retirement from Test cricket ahead of the upcoming Ashes series against England.

Pattinson, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career, has taken 81 wickets in 21 Test matches for Australia since making his debut in December 2011.

The 31-year-old’s decision to retire could reduce Australia’s bowling options for the five-Test Ashes series starting December 8 in Brisbane.

Australia retained the Ashes when the teams last met in 2019 after a 2-2 series draw in England.
