Hafeez In No Mood To Retire From ODIs And T20s After WC Debacle

Hafeez has no plans to retire from the limited overs format after Pakistan endured a disappointing World Cup campaign in the United Kingdom

Pakistan finished their World Cup campaign with standing fifth in the points table, level on 11 points with New Zealand. But the Kiwis qualified as the fourth team for the semifinals owing to better net run rate. With senior player Shoaib Malik announcing his retirement, senior all-rounder Muhammad Hafeez’s name was too in the list of players who could most likely announce retirement. However, if a reliable source close to the all-rounder is to be believed, the star batsman has no plans to retire from the limited overs format after Pakistan endured a disappointing World Cup campaign in the United Kingdom. According to PTI, former captain and head coach Waqar Younis had advised Hafeez last week to call it quits. "Waqar told Hafeez that he felt this was the right time now for Hafeez to say goodbye but the senior player said he wanted to carry on playing for a few more years," the source said. Hafeez, who turns 39 in October, has also informed the Pakistan team management that he has no plans to retire and is fit enough to serve Pakistan cricket in ODIs and T20 Internationals for a few more years. Hafeez, who has appeared in 218 ODIs and 89 T20 Internationals, had retired from Test cricket last October after struggling for form in the series against New Zealand in the UAE.
