In the 2002 season, Thorpe had well-publicised marital difficulties which seriously affected his play and his focus on the game. Seemingly disillusioned with constant touring away from his family, he announced his retirement from the one-day game and changed his mind several times on whether to tour Australia, eventually pulling out of the tour entirely. However, in 2003 a rested Thorpe, with family problems behind him, returned to the England team in the fifth Test against South Africa at his home ground of the Oval, where he was welcomed with a standing ovation. Thorpe scored a century, and remained in the side until he played his 100th Test against Bangladesh in June 2005. He announced his retirement from Test cricket after the England selectors chose Kevin Pietersen instead of him in the first Test of The Ashes in July 2005, and his retirement from domestic cricket in August 2005. He is due to coach New South Wales in 2005/6 and is on their list of contracted players. The press has speculated that Thorpe will take up a player role to bolster a weakened team, due to international call-ups for many star players.
