\"DavidMelbourne: Former Australia batsman David Hussey announced his retirement from cricket on Wednesday following Melbourne Stars defeat in the Big Bash League semi-final.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old was uncertain about his future after the loss against Perth Scorchers on Tuesday, declaring: “It’s a bit raw at the moment, a bit emotional. Just wait and see what happens,” reports Cricket Australia’s official website.<\/p>\n

But Hussey announced on Wednesday — via Twitter — said he was calling time on his impressive career after leading the stars to the final and semi-final in his two seasons as captain.<\/p>\n

“I spoke to the boys quietly last night. I don’t really like to try and make too much of a deal of it,” he said, as per the website.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Wednesday, Kevin Pietersen confirmed on Instagram that Hussey had decided to bring his career to a close.<\/p>\n

“To the special David Hussey who is in this pic. I’m so happy I got play in your final game!” Pietersen wrote.<\/p>\n

“You have been absolutely sensational on and off the field continuing on from our Notts days! Love ya buddy!”<\/p>\n

Hussey has been with the Stars since the inception of the BBL in 2011, scoring 855 runs at 26.71 from 48 appearances over six seasons.<\/p>\n

He made 267 appearances in Twenty20 fixtures with his ability as a batsman and off-spinner and sharp fielding making him a valuable asset.<\/p>\n

Hussey retired from first-class cricket in April 2015 after a 13-year career.<\/p>\n

He also played 108 international matches (69 One-Days and 39 T20s), contributing 17 fifties and one century.<\/p>\n

That ton came against Scotland in 2009, Hussey smacking 111 from just 87 balls.<\/p>\n

Hussey averaged 52.50 at first-class level with 45 centuries and a best of 275 but failed to play a Test for Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
