Rubel announced retirement from Test Cricket

Rubel Hossain has announced his retirement from Test. He has given an official letter to BCB on Monday in this regard. He said this in his Facebook status.

Rubel wrote on Facebook that, ‘Longer version tournaments play an important role in strengthening the pipeline of the Bangladesh national team. I think the more opportunities young pacers will get in these tournaments, the stronger our pipeline will become. So I have decided to retire from red ball cricket to give opportunities to young cricketers.’

Rubel also wrote, ‘I have had the good fortune to play 27 Test matches for Bangladesh. Which is one of the achievements of my career. Thanks to those who have supported me in this journey of international and domestic cricket in red ball cricket. I hope have you all by my side in the upcoming future.’

Rubel wants to continue playing in ODI and T20 formats. He wrote, ‘I have retired from test. However, I have the ability to give more to Bangladesh national team in ODI and T20 format. So I will continue to play regularly in DPL, BPL and other white ball tournaments. Keep me in your prayers. May I give you colorful days in white ball cricket for the rest of my career.’
