Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Abbas has announced his retirement from international cricket, bringing an end to a Test career that saw him become one of Pakistan's most accurate and reliable seam bowlers. The ICC lists his retirement among its latest major cricket headlines.
Abbas became particularly renowned for his ability to generate movement and consistently hit the right areas rather than relying on extreme pace. His international career included 25 Test matches, along with appearances in Pakistan's limited-overs sides.
His retirement comes at a time when Pakistan are preparing for the second Test against England at Lord's, adding another notable development to the country's cricket news cycle.
The veteran pacer's departure marks the end of an important chapter for Pakistan's Test bowling attack and gives younger fast bowlers an opportunity to establish themselves at international level.
