In a shocking move, Bangladesh cricket legend Mushfiqur Rahim has announced his retirement from One-Day International (ODI) cricket. This decision comes after his earlier retirement from T20Is in September 2022, where he chose to focus on Test cricket.

Mushfiqur Rahim is one of Bangladesh’s most accomplished cricketers, known for his versatility as a right-handed middle-order batter and wicketkeeper. He holds numerous records for Bangladesh, including being the highest individual scorer in Test cricket and the first Bangladeshi to score two double-hundreds in Tests.

Throughout his career, Rahim has been a cornerstone of Bangladesh’s batting lineup, contributing significantly to their growth in international cricket. His retirement from ODIs marks the end of an era for Bangladesh, who will now need to find new leaders to fill the void left by one of their greatest players.

Rahim’s decision to focus solely on Test cricket underscores his commitment to the longer format, where he has achieved remarkable success. His legacy in Bangladesh cricket remains unparalleled, and his contributions will be remembered for generations to come.
