Usman Qadir announces retirement from International Cricket
In a significant development, Pakistan cricketer Usman Qadir has announced retirement from International cricket on Thursday. The son of famous Pakistan cricketer Abdul Qadir took to his social media handle to announce his departure from the international circuit since his debut in 2020.
He made his debut in November 2020 against Zimbabwe in Rawalpindi and went on to scalp his career-best figures of 4/13 in the same series. In addition, he has two three-fers in the format that came against the same opposition.
“Today, I am announcing my retirement from Pakistan cricket, and as I reflect on this incredible journey, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. It has been an immense honor to represent my country, and I’m thankful for the support of my coaches and teammates who have been with me every step of the way. From unforgettable victories to the challenges we faced together, each moment has shaped my career and enriched my life. I’m deeply appreciative of the passionate fans who have always stood by me; your unwavering support has meant the world. As I step into this new chapter, I will be continuing my dad’s legacy, embracing both my love for cricket and the lessons he instilled in me. I carry with me the spirit of Pakistan cricket and the cherished memories we created together. Thank you for everything,” Qadir’s post read.
Usman also represented the Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers in Australia’s Big Bash League, gathering 16 wickets in 18 appearances with an economy of 8.44. As he is just 31 years old, there's still plenty he can offer to franchise cricket.
