Shoaib Malik retires from One Day International Cricket

Shoaib Malik retired from ODIs after Pakistan’s World Cup journey ended yesterday with a win against Bangladesh.

Shoaib Malik retired from one-day internationals after Pakistan’s World Cup campaign ended at Lord’s on Friday. Malik had retired from Test cricket in 2016.

Shoaib Malik was dropped from the playing after repeated failures during the World Cup. He was replaced by Harris Sohail who played a few impactful innings.

“I have no regrets. But it’s just that I have been too flexible in my batting order”, said Malik adding, “I have batted wherever the team wanted. I have been dropped many times, I missed a few years of international cricket and have been around for 20 years.”

The 37-year-old Malik, who announced that the World Cup would be his last appearance on the international stage, managed to score just eight runs in three innings at the mega event.
