Mushfiqur ends as the second highest Odi corridor in Bangladesh with 7795 races at an average of 36.42, with nine hundred and 49 fifty of 274 games. He is one of the only five Wicktkeepers who plays more than 250 Odi, and his seven centuries are the fourth more for a guardian, only behind Kumar Sangakkara, Adam Gilchrist and MS Dhoni.
However, Mushfiqur’s shape had been in the center of attention in recent times, and was under more scrutiny during the Champions Trophy. Mushfiqur was out of a golden duck against India, and scored only 2 against New Zealand. His last Odi Fifty was against Sri Lanka in March last year: he was injured by two hate against Afghanistan in November and the Western Indies tour in November and December.
“I am announcing my retirement from the Odi format as of today,” Mushfiqur wrote on his official Facebook page. “Alhamdulillah For everything. While our achievements may have been limited worldwide, one thing is safe: every time I went up to my country, I gave more than 100% with dedication and honesty. The last weeks have been very challenging for me, and I have realized that this is my destiny.
“Finally, I would like to deeply thank my family, friends and my fans for whom I have played the Crick for the last 19 years.”
Mushfiqur also has the Bangladesh record for most consecutive hate, after having played 92 games between 2010 and 2016.
