Australia batsman Chris Rogers feared for career at Lord's

Australia batsman Chris Rogers says that he thought his career might be over when he suffered a dizzy spell in the second Ashes Test at Lord's.

Australia opener Chris Rogers has revealed that he feared his career might be over when he suffered with dizziness during the second Ashes Test against England.

The 37-year-old was forced to retire on 49 in the second innings at Lord's after being hit by a bouncer as the tourists eased to a 405-run win to level the series at 1-1.

Rogers, who plans to retire from international cricket at the end of the series, said that he feared the problem was concussion and that it might have put an end to his involvement.

"If it was concussion, I would have thought that maybe that was it," BBC Sport quotes Rogers as saying.

Rogers scored 173 in the first innings at Lord's and should be fit for the third Test at Edgbaston, which starts tomorrow.
