Ben Hilfenhaus, the Australian pacer,
announced his retirement from first-
class cricket on Wednesday (February
24). However, the 32-year-old, who
has been facing recurring niggles and
injuries, will continue to ply his trade
in limited-overs cricket.
"I've had to make a decision with
regards to my body not being able to
perform at the level I'd like in four-day
cricket anymore," he was quoted as
saying by cricket.com.au.
"Everyone gets old eventually and
after a little bit of thinking and making
some decisions, I think this is my best
way forward - to hang up the boots
from the red-ball game," he said. "It's
getting harder and harder to back up
day after day and bowl the amount of
overs that's required for four-day
cricket. I guess my body is just getting
older.
