Afghanistan’s Shapoor Zadran retires from international cricket
Afghanistan fast bowler Shapoor Zadran has announced his retirement from international cricket, bringing an end to a marvellously prestigious carrer lasting over a decade. The 37-year-old left-arm pacer featured for Afghanistan 44 ODIs and 36 T20Is since making his debut in 2009.
He last played for Afghanistan in an international game in 2020 against Ireland. He claimed 80 wickets across both formats.
"My journey began in the most challenging times of Afghan cricket. I faced difficulties, played under limited resources, and overcame many obstacles, but I never lost faith. The support of cricket fans, my teammates, coaches, and especially my family kept me going through every hardship. I sincerely thank everyone who stood by my side throughout this long journey," he said in a statement.
"The love, prayers, and unwavering support of my family, friends, fans, and the people of Afghanistan have been my greatest strength. I will always be grateful for it," he said.
