Inevitable really. At 31 he’s no longer a youngster so a sensible decision to manage his body and his time. I presume this means he will still play T20 as it’s not classed as ‘one day cricket’. (Indeed, I’m not sure it classifies as any cricket, but I’d better not say that!!) perhaps he will make this next T20 in Oz his swan song in this form before concentrating on Test Cricket as captain.
