Australia Test captain Steve Waugh, the sport's most-capped player, has hinted he will retire in the next 12 months after a final attempt at winning a series in India.

Steve Waugh"You always want to go out on a good note," The 38-year-old Waugh told reporters in Perth.

"I'm not exactly sure when it's going to be, but it's a good chance that this will be the last time I play in Perth."

Waugh will lead Test cricket's top-ranked side in a two-match series against Zimbabwe starting in Perth on October 9, followed by the second Test in Sydney on October 17-21.

Australia will also host a four-Test series against India in December and January in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.

India will host Australia in September next year as Waugh tries to claim an Australia series victory there for the first time since Bill Lawry's team won 3-1 in 1969-70.
