Australia's Chris Rogers "sad" about retirement

Australia opener Chris Rogers admits that he is "sad" about the end of his Test career following his side's victory over England in the final match of the Ashes series.

Australia's Chris Rogers has confessed that he is "sad" about the end of his Test career.

The 37-year-old played his final match for the Baggy Greens in his side's innings and 46-run victory over England in the fifth Test at The Oval, ending his career after three years in the international game.

Rogers told Sky Sports News: "I'm pretty sad actually. I don't usually get emotional and this is a sad moment but also one to enjoy.

"I have had a fantastic journey and having the honour of finishing at the same time as an Aussie great is amazing and that's a privilege. I'll miss the moments when you win and I am going to cherish tonight."

Rogers made five centuries, including four against England, in his 25-match Test career.
