Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Irfan, known as the tallest cricketer in the world, has retired from international cricket at 42. His announcement comes shortly after similar decisions by Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim.
Standing at a remarkable 7 feet tall, Irfan had been absent from international cricket for years due to disciplinary issues with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). His prolonged absence had sparked speculation about his career, and he has now officially confirmed his retirement.
In a heartfelt message on social media, Irfan thanked his teammates, coaches, and fans for their constant support. He shared his gratitude for the unforgettable moments and love he received throughout his career, saying, “I will always support and celebrate cricket.”
Irfan’s decision follows retirements by Amir and Imad Wasim. Imad, reflecting on his career, announced that while stepping back from international cricket, he would continue playing domestic and franchise cricket. Amir, who had previously retired and returned, also confirmed his second retirement recently.
Irfan’s departure marks the end of an era for Pakistan’s cricket team. The towering pacer leaves behind a legacy of memorable performances in both national and international matches.
