AUSTRALIAN fast bowler Shaun Tait has quit cricket indefinitely, citing emotional and physical exhaustion.
Tait said his love for the game had diminished and he would not play cricket at any level for an indefinite period.
“This is a very difficult situation for me to be in at this time,” Tait said today in a statement.
“This is not an overnight decision but something that I’ve been struggling with for sometime.
“A break from professional cricket will hopefully give me a clear mind and a chance for my body to rest and recover.
“My love and enjoyment of the game is struggling due to these issues and if I continue to go on, it will be unfair on my team mates and support staff of both the Australian and South Australian cricket teams – and most importantly my family and close friends.”
It is important to note here that Tait was struggling with his speed after he was under strict watch by ICC for chucking allegations levelled against him by Newzealand, also it is interesting to note that during the current series against India he failed to bowl above 145Kph.
The World Cup star struggled in his one Test appearance of the summer – the third Test against India in Perth after a long battle to regain fitness following elbow surgery he was inducted in the Aussie team this summer as a pace bully but failed to make an impact on the series as he failed to co-op with the pressure of being under constant scrutiny by the ICCÂ umpires.
After Adam Gilchrist’s surprise retirement this has been the second blow to the struggling world champions.
