Pakistan Test batter Asad Shafiq has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket after experiencing a dip in his passion for the game.

The 37-year-old made the announcement on Sunday. “I am not feeling the same excitement and passion playing cricket and neither do I have the same fitness levels required for international cricket.

Which is why I have decided to say goodbye to all cricket,” he told a press conference after leading Karachi Whites to the National T20 Championship title.

Asad also confirmed he was about to sign a contract with the Pakistan Cricket Board to be a paid national selector. “I have got the contract from the board and I am looking at it and hopefully it will be processed soon.” He said working as a national selector was an exciting challenge for him and he would look to remain involved in the game.
