Bangladesh veteran Mushfiqur Rahim announces retirement from T20Is

Srinagar: Senior Bangladesh wicketkeeper batter Mushfiqur Rahim has announced his retirement from International T20 cricket.

Rahim took to his official Twitter handle to announce his decision.

Mushfiqur Rahim explained the reason behind his decision to retire from the shortest format as he wants to focus on Tests and ODIs going forward.

As a result, Mushfiqur Rahim, who has represented Bangladesh in every T20 World Cup since the inaugural edition, will not be available for the event next month in Australia.

He also added that he will be available to play franchise league cricket.

The decision comes after Bangladesh crashed out of the 2022 Asia Cup without a win against their names.

“I would like to announce my retirement from T20 INTERNATIONALS and focus on Test and ODI formats of the game. I will be available to play franchise leagues when the opportunity arrives. Looking forward to proudly represent my nation in the two formats-MR15,” Tweet Reads.
