The 37-year-old has called a press conference in Brisbane for 10.30am local time Tuesday morning where he is expected to officially announce his retirement.

Hayden will be given an emotional farewell with a lap of honour in front of his home crowd at the Gabba before Tuesday night's Twenty20 international between Australia and South Africa.

Hayden, who played 103 Tests, struggled to make an impact in the five-day arena this summer against New Zealand and South Africa at home, scoring just 149 runs at 16.55 from five matches.

The decision comes after the veteran opener was dropped from Australia's one-day and Twenty20 squads for this current series against the Proteas.

Hayden had hoped to push on for the tour to South Africa next month and the Ashes in England later this year.

Hayden scored 8625 runs at an average of 50.73 over his Test career.
