Former England bowler Matthew Hoggard has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
The 36-year-old was part of the team that famously beat Australia in the 2005 Ashes series.
He played 67 Tests for England between 2000 and 2008, taking 248 wickets in the process.
It's been an amazing journey filled with some fantastic experiences shared with great people but time has come to hang the boots up !
