LONDON, Aug 18: Chris Rogers will retire from test cricket after the final Ashes match against England, becoming the third Australia player to end his international career on the tour.

The 37-year-old opening batsman says "I've been lucky enough to play cricket as a living for nearly 20 years and it's been amazing and a privilege, but everything good comes to an end."


Rogers, who will play his 25th test when the fifth and final Ashes test starts at The Oval on Thursday, made his debut in 2008 but didn't win his second cap until the 2013 Ashes.

Ryan Harris quit because of injury before the Ashes series began and Australia captain Michael Clarke announced after the fourth test, which England won to regain the urn, he will retire after the Ashes.
