Nathan Hauritz, the former Australian
Test spinner, has announced his
retirement from competitive cricket on
Tuesday (January 19), ending a 15-
year playing career. The 34-year-old
was an unused squad member in
Melbourne Renegades' 27-run defeat
to Adelaide Strikers on Monday that
ended their hopes of making the Big
Bash League 2015-16 semifinal.
Hauritz, who played picked 63 wickets
in 17 Tests for Australia after debuting
in Mumbai in 2004, had been relegated
to a bit-part role with the Renegades,
for whom he just played a solitary
game this season. He had been out of a
state contract for two years after
being left out by Queensland in
2013-14 and struggled to perform at
peak levels in the BBL.
"I was toying with it after I played with
the [Sydney] Thunder and found out I
wasn't going back there (after last
season). Nathan Hauritz retires from competitive cricket - Cricbuzz
