Renowned cricketer Muhammad Yousaf speaks during a press conference to announce his decision of retiring from International cricket.
“I received a letter from the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) that my staying in the team is harmful for the team, so I announce my retirement from international cricket,” he announced at the Karachi Press Club.
“I thank the fans around the world, all the senior players and family members for supporting me throughout my 12-year career,” said an emotional Yousuf, dressed in traditional Pakistani dress.
“I always played for my country and if my playing is harmful for the team then I don’t want to play,” he said.
