Waugh made his debut for Australia's struggling test side in 1985 against India in Melbourne. If, as expected, he plays all four matches in the upcoming test series against India, he will end his career at his beloved SCG with 168 caps.
Waugh said he knew it was time to retire when his seven-year-old daughter Rosie said he should.
"I've consulted my kids over the last couple of days," said Waugh. "At breakfast the other morning Rosie said to me `I don't want you to go away anymore.'
