Mitchell Johnson, the former Australia paceman, announced his retirement from the Big Bash League, but stressed he would be available for other T20 competitions around the globe.Johnson, who played for Perth Scorchers, will be 37 by the time the 2018-19 BBL commences in December, with each team set to play 14 games for the first time in a full home-and-away season.Johnson cited this increased intensity as the reason behind his
decision. “The intensity and length of the BBL is just too much for someone who will be 37 at the start of the summer," Johnson's manager, Sam Halvorsen, told The West Australian.Johnson has put his name up for the inaugural United Arab Emirates Twenty20 league, though, and will also be vying for place in the T-10 league to be held in the UAE later this year.“Mitch has put his name up for the Emirates tournament in Dubai, but that is half the length of the BBL," Halvorsen added.
