Former Australia captain Tim Paine has retired from domestic cricket after playing for Tasmania in their Sheffield Shield match against Queensland.
Paine played 35 Tests for Australia, with 23 of those as captain after he took over from Steve Smith.
He also played 35 one-day internationals for his country and 12 Twenty20s.
Smith was stripped of the role after a ball-tampering controversy during Australia's 2018 tour of South Africa.
Paine has not played international cricket since January 2021 and last played domestic white-ball cricket in December 2022.
Under Paine's captaincy, Australia retained the Ashes in 2019 with a 2-2 draw, becoming the first Australia side to do so in England since 2001.
