Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has subtly hinted at his potential retirement from international cricket, sparking speculation about the end of his distinguished career.
Speaking at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batter responded to questions about his future with humor, suggesting that an announcement may be imminent. He remarked, “Regarding my career, I believe there’s nothing more to say. I understand what you’re waiting for, and it will happen soon.”

Sarfaraz made his international debut in 2007 and has represented Pakistan in various formats, making significant contributions to the team. He led Pakistan to their maiden ICC Champions Trophy title in 2017, and under his leadership, Pakistan won 11 consecutive T20I series.
Despite recent challenges, including a lack of appearances in recent series, Sarfaraz’s career stats remain impressive, with over 6,000 runs across all formats. However, his last appearance for Pakistan came in 2023 during the first Test against Australia, and he has not been part of the white-ball squad since November 2021.
Sarfaraz’s impact on Pakistan cricket, especially during the 2017 Champions Trophy, is significant, and his leadership and performances over the years have cemented his place in the sport’s history.
