Veteran Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has confirmed his retirement from Test cricket.

Haddin announced on Wednesday he has ended his international and domestic first-class career but will still play Twenty20 for the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League.

Haddin was controversially left out of the third Ashes Test against England at Trent Bridge last month after being granted permission to miss the second Test to be with his sick daughter.

NSW gloveman Peter Nevill took over for the rest of the Test series.

The 37-year-old Haddin played 66 Tests since 2008, making 3266 runs at an average of 32.98 and taking 262 catches.
