Sydney: Australian opener
Chris Rogers has decided
that the fourth Test will be
his last on home soil as he
aims to finish his sevenyear-long
career in the Ashes
series this year. The 37-
year-old, who made his Test
debut against India in Perth
in January 2008, might
have played just 19 Tests till
now but the New South
Wales batsman has made
up his mind to hang up his
boots against arch-rivals
England. “You never say
never but I kind of looked at
the future and thought the
England series and what
England has meant for me
would be a nice way to finish,”
Rogers said. “So hopefully
I can get through to the
Ashes. But if this is the last
one then it’s definitely not
the worst one to go out on. I
think you get to a point
where touring can be quite
difficult. Playing a lot of
cricket can get to you a little
bit in the end so I’m looking
forward to maybe new challenges
as well.”
