Ricky Ponting says that he has no regrets over retiring from Test cricket for Australia and admits that his best playing days are behind him.

Ricky Ponting has revealed that it was not a hard decision for him to retire from Test cricket.

Australia's defeat to South Africa in the final Test match of the series on Monday was the 37-year-old's last game for his country.

"The decision to walk away was a pretty easy one," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"I'm a realist and I realise now that my best cricket is probably past me. As hard as I have tried over the last couple of years to find my form again and re-establish myself, I haven't been able to do that."

Ponting scored 13,378 runs in 168 Tests in his career.
