SYDNEY: Australian batsman-wicketkeeper Matthew Wade, who represented his nation in all three formats of cricket, revealed on Tuesday that he will be retiring from international cricket and transitioning into teaching.
The 36-year-old, who made his final appearance in the T20 World Cup earlier this year, played 36 Test matches, 97 One-Day Internationals, and 92 Twenty20s for Australia.
According to a news release from Cricket Australia, the left-hander stated, “I was fully aware my international days were most likely over at the end of the last T20 World Cup.”
“Coaching has been on my radar over the last few years and thankfully some great opportunities have come my way, for which I am very grateful and excited.”
Throughout the winter, he has been coaching Tasmania’s youth and second XI teams.
