Usman Khawaja has hit out against a culture of "racial stereotypes" in Australian cricket, declaring the sport is "still very white" as he announced his international retirement.

The fifth Ashes Test in Khawaja's hometown of Sydney will be the final act of a 15-year career in the Baggy Green and the 39-year-old is not going quietly.

The Pakistan-born batter, Australia's first Muslim Test cricketer, spoke for over 45 minutes at the SCG, telling reporters he was "off the leash now" as he railed against perceived inequalities in his treatment.
