Veteran Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik announced his retirement from ODIs after their World Cup match against Bangladesh at Lord’s in London Friday.
Pakistan won the match by 94 runs but both teams got eliminated from the tournament.
“I am announcing retirement from ODIs. It is sad for me but I am satisfied with my ODI career. I would like to thank everyone who supported me in these 20 years of international cricket. I also thank all the players with whom I have shared dressing rooms, all my coaches, my friends, family and most importantly, my fans. Thank you all,” said Malik during the post-match press conference at Lord’s Friday.
Malik earlier announced that it will be his last World Cup in the 50-over format.
