Chris Rogers announces retirement, here's a look at his career in numbers

Australian opener Chris Rogers on 18 August announced that he will retire from all forms of international cricket following the final Ashes Test against England at the Kennigton Oval in London.

Rogers, who will turn 38 later this month, had indicated that the ongoing Ashes series would be his last. "I have had an amazing couple of years playing for Australia and enjoyed it and been part of some pretty special things, but everything comes to an end. You are never 100 percent sure, but I felt like this was the last one," Rogers told reporters in London.

"There's been a few things, particularly the head issues lately, so I am quite happy to call it a day. It's time for Australian cricket to make a few changes and bring in a few new guys, a few fresh faces. It's going to be a challenging time, particularly for the new guys but that's part of it," said the left-handed batsman.

In the four Tests of the 2015 Ashes series, Rogers has been the top-scorer for Australia with 437 runs at an average of 62.42, despite retiring during the second Test suffering with dizziness after being struck by a rising ball earlier in the match.

Rogers joins his captain Michael Clarke in retiring from international career after the fifth Ashes Test. Clarke had announced his retirement following Australia's shambolic loss by an innings and 78 runs against England in the 4th Test at Trent Bridge.

England wrapped up the five-match Ashes series following their emphatic victory in the 4th Test that put them 3-1 up in the series.
