Pakistan veteran Inzamam-ul-Haq to retire after Test
Pakistan veteran cricketer Inzamam-ul-Haq has announced he is retiring from international cricket after the second Test match against South Africa in Lahore, which begins on 8 October.
Inzamam-ul-Haq, 37, who has played in 119 Tests, already has given up being skipper and stopped playing one-day internationals after Pakistan were knocked out of the World Cup.
But Inzamam-ul-Haq has been selected for a 16-man squad also including Mohammad Yousuf, having chosen not to play the opening Test.
Inzamam-ul-Haq explained: "I want to give way to youngsters and allow them centre stage,"
"I don't want to stop any youngster's progress.
"I have taken this decision after much thought and I realise that my presence in the dressing room could be a pressure on the younger players."
Inzamam-ul-Haq went on to add: "So I have decided this is the best time for me to bid farewell to a game I have loved so much."
