Pakistan batsman Younis Khan has announced his retirement from one-day cricket, saying the first day-night international against England in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday will be his last match.
The 37-year-old had wanted to leave the format on a high after he was selected in the 16-man squad for the four-match series against England despite patchy form.
Wednesday’s game will be Younis’s 265th one-day international, nearly 16 years after making his debut against Sri Lanka in Karachi in February 2000.
Going into his last match, Younis has scored 7,240 runs with seven hundreds and 48 half-centuries in one dayers.
“He will retire from one-day cricket after Wednesday’s game and he has conveyed this to us,” team manager Intikhab Alam told AFP.
