Mushfiqur Rahim Announces ODI Retirement After 19 Years
Former Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim on yesterday (March 5, 2025) announced his retirement from ODI cricket.
He said “I am announcing my retirement from the ODI format as of today. Alhamdulillah for everything. While our achievements may have been limited on a global level, one thing is certain. Whenever I stepped onto the field for my country, I gave more than 100% with dedication and honesty,” Mushfiqur posted on his official Facebook page.
“The last few weeks have been very challenging for me, and I have come to realize that this is my destiny. Allah says in the Quran: “Wa tu izzu man tasha’ wa tu zillu man tasha'” [And He honours whom He wills, and He disgraces whom He wills](3:26). May Almighty Allah forgive us and grant righteous Iman to all,” he said.
“Lastly, I would like to deeply thank my family, friends and fans for whom I have played cricket for the last 19 years”.
Mushfiqur Rahim began his ODI career in August 2006, making his debut against Zimbabwe. He ends his journey as Bangladesh’s most experienced player in the format, having played 274 matches. Throughout his career, he amassed 7,795 runs at an average of 36.42, with nine centuries to his name and a highest score of 144. Behind the stumps, he was equally impressive, claiming 243 catches and completing 56 stumpings.
