Pakistan cricket team veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has once again made it clear what he wants regarding his retirement.

Mohammad Hafeez, while speaking to Geo News, said,

 

“I want to retire from international cricket right after the next T20 World Cup. I expect my career to end in a respectful and beautiful way.I am keeping myself fit and my performance has also been good in the last few years”

On the other hand, along with Mohammad Hafeez, former captain Shoaib Malik is also thinking the same, as he has retired from ODIs and Test cricket.

Mohammd Hafeez has played 55 Tests, 218 ODIs and 91 T20 Internationals for Pakistan.

 

Recently Rameez Raja said,

 

“I stood with these two (Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik) during one of my assigned assignments and that’s why I avoid making any personal statement on these two giants.

 

There is no doubt that both these players have served Pakistan cricket for so many years, but now I think the time has come for both of them to retire honorably from Pakistan’s team. ”
