Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has announced his retirement from Test cricket.

After retiring from one-day internationals following his side's World Cup triumph earlier in the year, Haddin has now walked away from the longest format of the game and confirmed that he will no longer play first-class cricket for New South Wales.

Haddin was forced to pull out of the second Ashes Test in the summer due to family issues and he was unable to reclaim his spot after Peter Nevill replaced him in the side.

The 37-year-old retires having played 66 Test matches for Australia after his debut in 2008.

Australia have now lost Haddin, Michael Clarke, Chris Rogers and Shane Watson from their Test side since the end of the Ashes series.
