Shoaib Malik, a stalwart of Pakistan cricket, recently affirmed his willingness to continue playing T20 International (T20I) cricket for Pakistan. This statement came during an interview on paktv.tv following an LPL 2023 match between Jaffna Kings and Dambulla Aura on Monday, August 7.
“I have retired from Tests and ODIs. I had great stats when I was dropped, I am still available to play T20I cricket for Pakistan, but I don’t expect anything from the captain or selectors. Zero expectations, and will play till I am enjoying,” Malik said.
Despite being out of national T20I action since November 2021, Malik’s finest moments in T20 cricket cannot be forgotten, the pinnacle being the fastest fifty by a Pakistani batter in T20 World Cup match against Scotland in 2021, achieved in just 18 balls.
