Vice-captain of the Test team for much of the last two years, the 37-year-old will continue to play only Twenty20 cricket for the Sydney Sixers. "I came to the realisation after Lord's," Haddin said. "I've had a privileged run, but I lost the hunger on the Ashes Tour. "It was an easy decision to retire."
