SYDNEY, Mar 28 (AFP): Australia fast bowler Shaun Tait Monday announced his retirement from one-day cricket to concentrate on the Twenty20 form of the game.
Tait, 28, who has just returned from the World Cup on the subcontinent, said he will step down from the national and South Australia one-day teams in an attempt to prolong his career.
"I have decided to retire from one-day cricket for both Australia and the South Australian Redbacks," Tait said in a statement released through Cricket Australia.
"This is not a decision I have taken lightly, but I believe it is one that will help me to prolong my cricketing career through the many Twenty20 avenues available.
"In reality, playing all year round for Australia and South Australia is not allowing my body to stand up as I would like and I do not want to be forced into retirement through career-ending injuries."
