Lahore/UNI: Sana Mir, the former Pakistan captain, has announced her decision to retire from international cricket.
Mir, 34, represented Pakistan in 226 internationals since her debut in 2005, and has been captain in 137 of them.
"Last few months have provided me with an opportunity to contemplate. I feel it is the right time for me to move on. I believe I have contributed to the best of my ability for my country and the sport," she said in a statement published by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
"During my cricket journey, I have met and built strong friendships and bonding with some amazing cricketers in women’s cricket. Listening about their stories and philosophies have not only made me a tougher and stronger athlete but have also taught me great
things about life, which are beyond yourself or the sport or winning and losing," Mir added.
