Australian cricketer Shaun Marsh on Sunday announced his retirement from professional cricket, with the Melbourne Renegades` fixture against Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League on Wednesday being his last assignment. He joins former Australian skipper Aaron Finch into retirement.

"I have loved playing for the Renegades. I`ve met some great people over the last five years, and the friendships I`ve made will last a lifetime," Marsh, 40, said in a statement to the Renegades.
