England head coach Andy Flower is full of praise for Graeme Swann following the spinner's decision to retire from international cricket.

England head coach Andy Flower has hailed the retiring Graeme Swann for his "successful" career in international cricket.

The 34-year-old spinner decided to quit playing for his country on Saturday, making the announcement just before the fourth Ashes Test against Australia gets underway on Boxing Day in Melbourne.

"Graeme Swann has made an outstanding contribution to the England cricket team in all formats throughout an incredibly successful career and I would like to congratulate him on all that he has achieved," said Flower.

"His commitment, competitive spirit and sense of humour have been recognised and admired by team mates and supporters alike and he has played a big part in England's success over the last five years.

"The dressing room will be a very different place without Graeme's unique personality and I would like to wish him all the very best for the future."

Swann played 60 Test matches and 79 one-day internationals for England.
