Former Pakistan Test captain Mohammad Hafeez finally announced his retirement from international cricket on Monday.

Hafeez had earlier bid farewell to Test cricket in 2018.

Today, I say goodbye to international cricket with pride and satisfaction, Hafeez said while addressing a press conference to announce his decision.

The cricketer said that he feels extremely fortunate and proud to have been considered worthy to represent the country in the national kit with Pakistan's emblem for 18 years.

He said that cricket has been a field of learning for him and has provided him opportunities to visit various countries, explore their cultures and make friends.

In his 18-year-long career, the all-rounder scored 12,789 runs and took 253 wickets while representing Pakistan in 392 international matches.

Besides this, he played 55 Tests, 218 ODIs, and 119 T20Is for the country, including three ICC ODI world cups and six T20 world cups.

Hafeez, now aged 41, started his international career in April 2003, with his debut ODI against Zimbabwe in Sharjah. His Test debut was against Bangladesh in Karachi on August 20, later in the same year.

The Professor played his first T20 match in August 2006 against England while the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final against Australia proved his last 20-over match.

The right-handed batter played his final ODI match last year in July at Lord's against Bangladesh.
