ANZ INTERNATIONAL CRICKET SERIES CRACK
Talking about his decision, Pattinson in a statement said, "Leading into pre-season I really wanted to give the Ashes a crack but in the end I haven't had the preparation I would have liked heading into the coming season. However, he has mentioned that he still has four-five years of cricket left in him and he would play domestic cricket as well as keep an eye out for a possible County contract.
Pattinson was set to be part of the upcoming Ashes series at home, however, a delay in his preparation due to COVID-19 lockdown and later, another injury last month meant it was the end of his dream to play another Ashes as he had mentioned previously that this could be his last Ashes series. However, he has looked much fitter in the last couple of seasons and despite being in the squad he didn't play a single Test match against India in the four-match series. Pattinson impressed one and all with two five-wicket hauls against New Zealand and then followed it up with a couple of exceptional spells against India but never featured regularly for his side. Pattinson, whose career has been marred by injuries has played just 21 Test matches for Australia since 2011 when he made his debut.
Australian pacer, James Pattinson, 31, has announced a shock retirement from international cricket ahead of the Ashes 2021-22.
