Australia batsman Michael Hussey will retire from all forms of international cricket at the end of January, Cricket Australia confirm.

Australian batsman Michael Hussey will retire from all forms of international cricket at the end of January, Cricket Australia has said.

The 37-year-old had already announced that the third Test against Sri Lanka, scheduled between January 3 and 7, would be his last. His international career will come to an end on January 23 after the following one-day series.

Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland described Hussey as one of the best Aussie batsmen of all time. He said: "Michael Hussey has been a vital contributor to many Australian team wins over his very successful Test cricket career.

"Affectionately known as 'Mr Cricket', he has always been thoroughly committed to meticulous preparation and the highest levels of physical fitness which have in turn delivered consistent performances in all forms of the game.

"An incredibly reliable player and leader within the Australian cricket team, Michael will retire from Test cricket with a record that puts him amongst the very best Australian batsmen of all time."

Hussey has a Test average of over 50 from 78 matches, scoring 19 centuries along the way.

He will continue to play for the Western Australia Warriors and the Perth Scorchers for the remainder of the 2012-13 season and is expected to make a further announcement regarding his future tomorrow.
