“In recent days I have been doing a lot of thinking about my international career and I have come to the conclusion that now is the right time for me to announce my retirement from international cricket,” he said in his statement.
“I would like to thank the PCB for all their support over the years – it has truly been an honor to represent Pakistan.”
