Glenn McGrath says that Michael Clarke has made the right decision to retire from Test match cricket.

Former Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath has claimed that current captain Michael Clarke has made the right call in choosing to retire from Test cricket.

Clarke has endured a dismal series so far, failing to go past 50 in any of his eight innings and leading Australia to a fourth successive Ashes loss in England.

The 34-year-old announced that the fifth Test at the Oval will be his last.

McGrath told BBC Sport: "I was there when Michael Clarke made his debut in Bangalore. He has been a big player for a long, long time and his average of about 50 is exceptional at Test level.

"I think he's made the right decision - he's going out on his own terms. He's a very strong character and I think he'll get plenty of support at the Oval."

Clarke has played in 114 Test matches to date, scoring at an average of 49.30 with 28 centuries.
