Shoaib Malik Big Statement: Shoaib Malik is currently active for Pakistan only in T20 format. He has already said goodbye to Test and ODI formats. He further said during the interview, “I have already announced my retirement from two formats. I am playing league cricket and enjoying my remaining time. At present, I get the opportunity to play wherever I am. I try to take advantage of this opportunity.
When Malik was asked about his retirement from T20 cricket, he said that he will soon retire from all formats of cricket. He said, “I am no longer interested in playing much. As I have said earlier in my previous interviews, I will soon retire forever from all forms of cricket.”
Not only this, during this interview he also talked about the captaincy of Babar Azam. He believes that Babar should step down from the post of captaincy and concentrate completely on his batting. According to Malik, after the burden of captaincy is removed, Babar will be able to perform better.
