   "I really have enjoyed my cricket both internationally and domestically, but unfortunately knee injuries have taken their toll," Bracken said on Saturday. 

"I have had a strong rehabilitation from my last operation and have also looked at altering my bowling action to reduce any further damage in my knee and which would have enabled me to continue playing, but it hasn?t responded. 
"My doctor has advised that I may require further surgery to stabilise my knee and to enable me to have good use of the knee in the future, but to continue playing first-class cricket is now not an option that I have."
