Azhar Ali has announced his retirement from Test cricket. Azhar Ali, Pakistan’s most successful batter, will retire after the third Test against England, which begins on Saturday 17 December 2022. Is Azhar Ali retired, the answer is yes.

Azhar, then 25, made his Test debut in England against Australia at Lord’s in 2010 and scored his first Test half-century in only his second match. He would go on to score 34 more half-centuries and go over 100 runs on 19 occasions.

Azhar, 37, is the only Pakistan batter to score a triple-century in a pink-ball Test, which he did in 2016 against the West Indies in Dubai. That unbeaten 302 is still his highest Test score.

Azhar Ali is one of Pakistan’s top five run scorers in Test cricket. However, he remained underappreciated for the majority, if not the entirety, of his career.

He walked onto the field to bat for the final time on Monday, hoping to make his final innings memorable, but he trudged back for a four-ball-duck to receive a guard of honor from his teammates.

Before the start of the Karachi Test, the veteran batter announced that this would be his final international appearance for Pakistan. He retired gracefully and will be remembered as one of the finest cricketers this country has produced — who did not receive enough credit for his achievements.

In his final Test, Azhar Ali receives a guard of honor. On the field, England players, including captain Ben Stokes, applauded Azhar.

Azhar Ali was escorted off the field for the final time by his teammates during the ongoing third Test against England in Karachi.

Azhar also scored two double-centuries in his 12-year career, 226 against Bangladesh in Dhaka (May 2015) and 205 not out against Australia in Melbourne (December 2016),

Azhar scored a century in each inning against Australia in Abu Dhabi in 2014, helping Pakistan win the second Test by 356 runs and the two-Test series 2-0.

Azhar captained Pakistan in nine Tests over two stints spanning 2016 and 2020.

Azhar Ali has announced his retirement from Test cricket and the team has regarded him as making the roof bats. Best of luck to Mr. Azhar Ali.

Azhar Ali test career will end after this series.
