Australian all-rounder John Hastings has called his time on first-class and One Day International (ODI) careers, but will keep on playing T20 cricket for Aussies.

Hastings played only Test against South Africa in 2012, 29 ODIs, the last of which was a rained-out game in the Champions Trophy in June.

Still willing to go through the grind in the shortest format, he will captain Melbourne Stars in the upcoming Big Bash League and last year he was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.

During his domestic run, the 31-year-old played 75 first-class matches for Victoria at home and Durham and Worcestershire in the English county circuit.

In that time, he scored 11 fifties with a top score of 93 and took 239 wickets, including seven five-fors, at an average of 27.22.

He played 113 List A matches for 179 scalps and his best figures of 6 for 45 came for Australia against Sri Lanka in August 2016.
