Uske baad har wicket, har sangharsh, har chot aur har comeback ne mujhe kuch na kuch sikhaya,” he posted on Instagram“Test cricket mere liye sirf ek format nahi, meri zindagi ka ek behad khaas hissa raha hai. Aaj bhaari dil aur anginat khoobsurat yaadon ke saath main Test cricket se retirement lene ka faisla kar raha hoon. Is safar mein mera saath dene wale har teammate, coach, family aur un karodon Bharatiyon ka dil se shukriya, jinhone achhe aur mushkil dono waqt mein mujh par bharosa banaye rakha. BCCI aur Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) ka bhi dil se shukriya, jinhone mere talent par bharosa kiya, mujhe aage badhne ke mauke diye aur mere cricket ke safar mein ek aham bhoomika nibhayi. Aapka saath aur vishwas mere liye hamesha khaas rahega,” he added.View this post on InstagramA post shared by MOHAMMAD SHAMI (@mdshami.11)More to follow© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdStay updated with the latest sports news across Cricket, Football, Chess, and more.
