Shoaib Malik announces retirement from Tests - elcosteno - 11-03-2015
Shoaib Malik, the Pakistan allrounder and former captain, has announced that the current Test match against England at Sharjah will be his last.
In a shock announcement at the close of the third day's play, an emotional Malik, 33, said that the "time was right" to move on, only three matches after his five-year exile from the Test team had come to an end.
"We have some good youngsters and now is the time to retire," he said. "Family comes first. I want to focus on the 2019 World Cup."
