Kolkata : After 4 years of debut in Pakistan team, spinner Usman Qadir has announced retirement from ‘Pakistan Cricket’ in a surprising note.
Usman, son of the legendary spinner Abdul Qadir, made his international debut in November 2020 and went on to play one ODI and 25 T20Is, taking a combined 32 wickets in them.
Qadir last played for Pakistan in 2023 Asian Games and never featured after that.
As per several reports, Qadir claimed that former Pakistan team Director Mohammad Hafeez was against his selection in Pakistan line up.
Despite former captain Shaheen Afridi assuring him a place in the team in January New Zealand Series, provided his good domestic form, he wasn’t selected.
The 31 years posted the news on social media saying, “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,” he added.
