Haddin declares ODI retirement

Brad Haddin, the Australia wicketkeeper, has declared his retirement from ODI cricket, a day prior to leaving for Test voyages through the West Indies and England.

"I have had a special one-day profession and I have been sufficiently lucky to be included in three World Cups and now is the ideal time to leave," Haddin said.

"Relatively few players get the chance to compose a script like mine toward the end of their vocations and I have been sufficiently fortunate to do only that subsequent to winning a World Cup on home soil.

"I leave the group with Australian positioned No. 1 on the planet and I am glad for all that we have accomplished."
