What is the future of Mushfiqur Rahim in T20 cricket - there was a discussion in Bangladesh cricket circles for many days. Those talks have gained momentum after he failed with the bat in the two group stage matches of the Asia Cup.
Mushfiqur has announced his retirement from international T20 today, putting an end to all discussions. Mushfiqur chose social media to announce that he will not play for Bangladesh in T20.
The wicketkeeper-batsman of Bangladesh wrote on Twitter and Facebook, 'I am announcing my retirement from international T20. From now on, I want to focus on Test and ODI cricket. However, Mushfiq also said that he will play in the T20s of various countries including the Bangladesh Premier League, "If the opportunity comes, I am ready to play in the franchise leagues."
Mushfiqur made his T20 debut in 2006, against Zimbabwe in Khulna. Mushfiqur scored only 2 runs in his debut match in T20 International. He got his first fifty in the 30th match of his T20 career. His highest score in this edition is 72 not out. He scored this run against India in Nidahas Trophy 2018. Mushfiqur could not bring victory to the team in the 55-ball innings with 8 fours and 1 six.
