Former captain and wicketkeeper-batsman of Bangladesh Cricket Team Mushfiqur Rahim announce his retirement from T20 international cricket.
The cricketer also informed that he will continue to play in ODI, Test and league matches. His decision came two days after Bangladesh was knocked out of Asia Cup 2022.
The 35-year-old star wicketkeeper represented Bangladesh in 102 T20Is, scoring 1500 runs with six half-centuries to his name. He was also the side's captain in its 2012 and 2014 T20 World Cup campaigns.
Mushfiqur is the second major Bangladesh star to draw curtains on his T20I career; earlier in June, opener Tamim Iqbal had also announced his retirement from the shortest format, following a six-month break from T20Is earlier in the year.
