Summary The wicket keeper wants to focus on Test and ODI cricket.

Australias wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has confirmed his retirement from Twenty20 internationals, a move he hopes will allow him to focus more on Test and ODI cricket. Haddin followed the example of Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke, both of whom have given up the shortest format over the past two years.Haddin played 25 Twenty20s for Australia. He averaged 18 and did not make a half-century, but he did have the honour of being the countrys fourth captain in the format, when he led the side against New Zealand and Pakistan in 2009.He will continue to play domestic Twenty20, having been named captain of the Sydney Sixers in the new Big Bash League to be played this summer.
