CA congratulates Xavier Doherty on his cricket career
Cricket Australia today congratulated Australian cricketer Xavier Doherty on a magnificent career, following the announcement of his retirement.
Doherty represented Australia in all three formats of the game in an international career spanning from 2010 to 2015. Doherty will continue to be available for the upcoming season of the KFC Big Bash League.
The Tasmanian left-arm orthodox spinner played four Test matches, 60 One-Day Internationals and 11 T20 Internationals for his country.
He made his international debut against Sri Lanka in an ODI in November 2010, and later that month debuted at Test level in the opening match of the 2010-11 Ashes Series against England.
The 34-year-old has represented Tasmania for more than 15 years, and finishes his international career with more than 70 wickets across all three formats.
“Xavier was an outstanding competitor who always represented Australia to the best of his abilities,” Mr Sutherland said.
“Playing in all three formats of the game at international level, Xavier proved he could compete against the best players in the world.
“Xavier featured in Australia’s victorious 2015 World Cup campaign on home soil, and should be proud of everything he has achieved in his decorated career.”
“We thank him for being such a great ambassador for the game, and look forward to his continual involvement in his post-playing days,” concluded Mr Sutherland.
CA applauds Adam Voges on an exceptional career
Cricket Australia has today congratulated Western Australian captain Adam Voges on an exceptional career.
The 37-year-old announced his international and state domestic retirement at the end of the Sheffield Shield season today, following an International career spanning 10 years and a 15-year career with the Western Warriors since making his first-class debut.
Voges, a middle-order batsman, represented Australia in all three formats of the game and will continue to be available for the KFC Big Bash League, when contracting commences, and for County Cricket Club, Middlesex.
He made his ODI and T20I debuts in 2007, before becoming the oldest player to score a Test century on debut as a 35-year-old against the West Indies in 2015.
Voges featured for his country in 20 Test matches, 31 ODI matches and seven T20I matches, and most recently captained the Prime Minister’s XI last month.
He finishes his International career with a batting average above 45 in all three formats.
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said:
“Adam has made an outstanding contribution to Australian cricket, and we congratulate him on his achievements with both Australia and Western Australia.
“An exceptional batsman and leader, Adam has represented his country in exemplary fashion not only with his run-scoring feats, but also in the manner with which he conducts himself both on and off the field.
“A relative latecomer to Test cricket at the age of 35, Adam was immediately successful at Test level, which is a testament to both his playing ability and his character to rise to the challenge at the top level.
“Adam leaves a lasting legacy and we thank him for the pride with which he has represented his country.”
Voges passed 100 six times at international level - including two Test double-centuries, three more Test centuries and one ODI ton - and finishes his career with a Test batting average (61.87) second only to Sir Don Bradman, for any player to have played 20 or more Test matches.
He holds the record for the best Test average from a West Australian and the highest Test score by a Western Australian (269*) and is the State’s most successful Sheffield Shield captain in terms of wins.
