Pakistan superstar has decided to retire from international cricket!

Pakistan’s superstar Mohammad Hafeez has decided to retire from international cricket at the age of 41 years; in a press conference he said; “Today I say goodbye to international cricket with pride and satisfaction,” Hafeez said. “In fact, I have earned and accomplished more than I had initially envisaged and for that, I am thankful to all my fellow cricketers, captains, support staff, and the Pakistan Cricket Board who helped me out during my career.” The all-rounder further added, “I am extremely fortunate, lucky and proud to have been considered worthy of donning the national kit with Pakistan emblem for 18 years. My country and my team have always been at my forefront and therefore, every time I stepped onto the field, I tried to raise their profile and image by playing hard and tough but within the rich traditions of spirit of cricket.”

He concluded his statement by saying that “When you have a professional career as long as mine, you’re bound to have your share of highs and lows, and I was no different. Results apart, I can say with conviction that I had more highs as I had the privilege of playing with and against some of the finest exponents of the bat and the ball of my era.”

PCB gave their final remarks on their superstar!

The PCB expressed their gratitude towards the player by stating; “Hafeez has been a wholehearted cricketer who worked tirelessly at his game to have a long and fruitful career;” the chairman further added that “His game evolved with time, adjusting to different formats quite intelligently. Later in his career, he became a T20 specialist; where he was never out of touch with modern demands of this testing format. His batsmanship took a sprightly turn, nailing sixes almost at will.” They concluded their stent by stating that; “He has worn the green blazer with pride for which we at the PCB are thankful. I wish him best of luck for his future life and thank him again for his magnificent contribution to Pakistan cricket.”
