Australian veteran batsman Michael Hussey has made the shock decision to retire from international cricket.
The 37-year-old told Cricket Australia his desire to spend more time with his family was his primary motivation for announcing his retirement.
"I was quite excited to tell them (children) that I'm not going to go away and play for Australia any more," Hussey said.
Hussey has scored 6183 runs at 51.52 from 78 Tests. He has also represented Australia in 185 one-day internationals and 38 Twenty20 internationals.
