Australian fast bowler Nathan Bracken on Saturday announced his retirement from all forms of cricket due to a persistent knee injury.
Bracken represented Australia in 116 One-day Internationals (ODI), taking 174 wickets at an impressive average of 24.36. Bracken also played five Tests, but was never able to cement his place in the side. The left-arm seamer shouldered New South Wales attack in his successful first-class career.
The highlight of his career came when he was ranked the No 1 ODI bowler in 2008. The 33-year-old said recurring injuries forced him to quit. "I have enjoyed my cricket, but knee injuries have taken their toll," Bracken was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.u00a0
