10 players who ended their career with an Ashes series

#7 Shane Warne (2007)

Shane Warne

When Shane Warne made his debut against India in 1992, one wouldn’t have presumed the tremendous potential the chubby leg-spinner possessed. But the 1993 Ashes turned everything for him.

With his first ball in the Ashes marked as the ‘Ball of the Century’, Warne grew in confidence as he scalped 34 wickets in his debut Ashes series and turned around a disastrous start to his career.

Warne just loved the big stage of the Ashes and England was also his favourite opposition. His stats also justify that. 195 wickets (most in the Ashes history) in 36 games at an average of 23.25 are some staggering numbers.

Some of his record-breaking stats have come in the Ashes. 600th wicket in the famous 2005 Ashes where he picked up 40 wickets and then his 700th wicket at the MCG (his home ground) in his farewell series (2006-07 Ashes). He helped Australia regain the Ashes in his last series ending a brilliant career.
