Shoaib Malik retires from Test cricket with an honour of career best bowling in last test

DUBAI: He made double hundred in this test series as he had never played such a big innings earlier in his career He got 11 wickets in this series and made 245 runs, the best of his career along with some important catches which did a great role to win the series. This is the final interview of his test career he said to Rameez Raja. After witnessing such a phenomenal comeback to the side, no one would have thought that a man who just expressed his desire to play in all three format, would retire so soon. Yet, his decision makes so much more sense. Malik raised his bar as a true professional and a team man when he wrote in his blog after retirement that he left the team to make room for youngsters. He also left a silent message for other seniors. Malik’s early departure sets an example for everyone that leaving at the right time for the greater good of the team can help you earn respect even with such an average career.
