South African legend Kallis has announced that he will retire from Test and first-class cricket after the second Test against India starting at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead on Thursday. "It wasn't an easy decision, with Australia around the corner and the success this team is enjoying, but I feel the time is right. I don't see it as goodbye, I still have a lot of hunger to push South Africa to that World Cup in 2015 if I am fit and performing.", He added.
