Australia's Test captain Tim Paine has revealed why he finally wanted to say goodbye to cricket. He said that a career-affecting injury in 2010 made him so upset that he hated cricket and started crying.

He said he got rid of it with the help of a sports psychologist. After a ball tampering incident in South Africa, Penn, who was named captain of the Test team in place of Steve Smith, suffered the injury in a charity match in 2010. His right hand was broken on the ball of Dirk Naines.

Penn had to undergo surgery seven times to recover from the injury, in which he had to resort to eight pins, a metal plate and a piece of hip bone. Due to this he stayed away from cricket for two seasons.
