Former Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik announced his retirement from 50-over cricket on Friday, following Pakistan’s 94-run victory over Bangladesh at Lord’s in the 2019 World Cup.
Malik, 37, brought an end to his 20-year long ODI career and said he will concentrate on prolonging his T20 career.
“I’m retiring from ODI cricket. I had planned this for a few years ago to retire on the last Pakistan World Cup match. I’m sad that I will be leaving a format of cricket I once loved but happy that I’ll have more time to spend with my family. This will also allow me to focus on T20s,” Malik said.
