Top 12 International cricketers whose injuries ended their careers
These players' struggles with injuries wrapped up their international careers.
7. Nathan Bracken
Nathan Bracken was an essential part of the Australian team during the 2000s. Along with Australia’s premier pacers Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee, Bracken used to wreak havoc on opponents with his brilliant swing bowling. Riding on his superb bowling, Australia won the 2006 Champions Trophy and the 2007 World Cup.
Prior to the 2009 Champions Trophy in South Africa, Bracken’s knee got injured and he returned to Australia for treatment. However, Bracken’s knee trouble proved fatal for his international career as he failed to become a part of Australia’s national side again. The 2009 Nottingham ODI against Australia and England became the last match of his international career.
In 2011, Bracken announced his retirement from all forms of cricket after getting unsuccessful in making a comeback in the international circuit for almost one and a half years. However, he played for his domestic side New South Wales in 2009 and 2010 and won a few games with his bowling exploits.
