Wasim thanked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for their support over the years, adding, “It has truly been an honour to represent Pakistan”.
“Each of my 121 appearances across the one-day international (ODI) and T20 formats was a dream come true,” he said.
“It’s an exciting time for Pakistan cricket going forward with new coaches and incoming leadership,” Wasim said, adding that he was looking forward to seeing the team excel.
“I now look forward to focusing on the next stage of my playing career away from the international stage,” he said.
The PCB replied to Wasim’s post on X, thanking him for his “services to Pakistan cricket over the years”.
“Wishing you all the best for your future endeavours,” the PCB said.
