Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has announced his retirement from ODIs.

Posted on at


Haddin made the announcement ahead of his departure for Australia’s Test tours of the West Indies and the UK on Monday. Haddin, 37, has played in 126 ODIs in a career that began against Zimbabwe at Hobart in January 2001 and ended in Australia’s ICC Cricket World Cup final victory over New Zealand in Melbourne in March this year.

Throughout his ODI career, Haddin claimed 170 catches and 11 stumpings, leaving him with the third most dismissals for a wicketkeeper in Australia behind Adam Gilchrist and Ian Healy.

Haddin scored 3,122 runs at an average of 31.53 with a top score of 110 runs. “I have had a privileged one-day career and I have been fortunate enough to be involved in three cricket World Cups and now is the right time to walk away,” said Haddin. “Not many players get to write a script like mine at the end of their careers and I have been lucky enough to do just that after winning a World Cup on home soil.
