Bangladesh legend Mushfiqur Rahim retires from ODI cricket
Bangladesh veteran Mushfiqur Rahim called an end to his One-Day International career on Wednesday.
Mushfiqur took to social media to make his announcement, stating the last few weeks, when Bangladesh exited the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 win-less, were challenging.
"I am announcing my retirement from the ODI format as of today," Mushfiqur's statement read.
"While our achievements may have been limited on a global level, one thing is certain: whenever I stepped onto the field for my country, I gave more than 100% with dedication and honesty."
Mushfiqur had made his international debut back in 2005, and his ODI debut came the following year in 2006. Barely a year into his ODI career, he scored a stellar 56* against India in the 2007 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, as Bangladesh shocked India at the global stage.
Mushfiqur would go on to achieve several laurels in the format, and also led his side in it. He finished with 7795 ODI runs, with nine hundreds and 49 fifties from his 274 match career.
"The last few weeks have been very challenging for me, and I have come to realize that this is my destiny.
"I would like to deeply thank my family, friends and my fans for whom I have played cricket for the last 19 years."
