Former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting suggested that the Ashes could be the final chapter in many Australian test careers.

Here are some of the players who could be in strife and face the chop from upcoming tours.

GOING?

Adam Voges - Failed to fire in the Ashes. An unbeaten half-century at Trent Bridge will keep him in selectors' thoughts when they name a squad for Bangladesh

Mitchell Johnson - One of Australia's best in England. Recently hinted he may retire if he equals Dennis Lillee's mark of 355 Test wickets, but may exit earlier

Shaun Marsh - Failed in his only chance to shine on tour. Impressed in tour games and may be retained for the tour of Bangladesh

Shane Watson - Replaced by Mitch Marsh at Lord's. Likely to play in the upcoming one-day series, but may not play another Test if Marsh stays fit

GOING

Chris Rogers - Australia's leading run-scorer in the series. Selectors may ask him to reconsider retirement, but 37-year-old is likely to resist the carrot of a Bangladesh tour

Brad Haddin - Has been surpassed by Peter Nevill. At age 37 he won't play for Australia again unless selectors decide to give him a testimonial at The Oval

Peter Siddle - Was overlooked throughout the series. Regularly impressed in the nets but couldn't get a look in, selectors expected to stick with the younger generation of quicks

Fawad Ahmed - Was overlooked throughout the series. Selectors liked the idea of a legspinner tormenting England, but he was never able to seriously press for a berth

GONE

Michael Clarke - Will retire after the fifth Test. On current form he no longer warranted a spot in the XI, but leaves an almighty hole as one of the side's best players of spin

Ryan Harris - Retired pre-series. The lion-hearted paceman was sorely missed throughout the series, having been Australia's leading wicket-taker in the 2013 Ashes.
