Mushfiqur Rahim T20 retirement

Mushfiqur Rahim has announced his retirement from T20 international cricket after the 2022 World Cup. He informed about this by posting on social media. Mushfiqur played 102 matches in his T20 career, in which he scored 1500 runs. His highest score was 72 runs. His average in T20 cricket is 19.23 and strike rate is 114.94. Bangladesh team's performance in the 2022 World Cup was very poor and it was eliminated in the group stage itself. Mushfiqur's performance was disappointing in this tournament too, in which he scored only 5 runs.

I would like to announce my retirement from T20 INTERNATIONALS and focus on Test and ODI formats of the game. I will be available to play franchise leagues when the opportunity arrives. Looking forward to proudly represent my nation in the two formats-MR15
