Pakistani pacer Mohammad Irfan, the world’s tallest cricketer, has announced his retirement from international cricket at the age of 42. The announcement comes shortly after similar retirements by fellow cricketers Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir.
Irfan, who stands at an impressive 7 feet tall, had been away from the cricket field for some time, having faced disciplinary issues with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in the past. His absence from international games in recent years led many to speculate about his future, and now, he has confirmed his decision to retire.
In a heartfelt message posted on social media, Irfan thanked his teammates, coaches, and fans for their support throughout his career. He expressed his gratitude for the unforgettable memories and the love he received from the cricketing community. “I will always continue to support and celebrate the game,” he said in his post.
Irfan’s retirement follows the announcements made by Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim, both of whom have also decided to step away from international cricket. Imad Wasim, reflecting on his time with the national team, revealed that while he was retiring from international cricket, he would continue playing in domestic and franchise cricket. Mohammad Amir, who had retired earlier and returned to the game, also announced his second retirement.
Irfan’s retirement marks the end of an era for Pakistan’s cricket team, with the towering pacer having played a key role in various national and international matches.
