Naveen-ul-Haq says he will retire from ODIs after World Cup

-

 

Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq on Wednesday announced that he will retire from ODI cricket after the World Cup.

Naveen-ul-Haq returned to Afghanistan’s ODI side for the first time in over two years. He has featured in seven ODIs to date, grabbing 14 wickets at an average of 25.42, with best figures of 4 for 42. He had last played in the ODI in January 2021.

“It has been an absolute honour to represent my country would like to announce my retirement from ODI format at the end of this World Cup and will continue to wear this blue jersey in T20 cricket for my country,” Naveen wrote on Instagram.

“It hasn’t been an easy decision to make but to prolong my playing career had to take this tough decision would like to thank @afghanistancricketboard and all my fans for their support and unwavering love.”

Naveen has stirred many Indian fans after he had a run-in with star India batter Virat Kohli in the last edition of the Indian Premier League.

Naveen has experience of playing in the T20 leagues across the globe. He had played in the Vitality Blast in England, at the CPL in the Caribbean, and BBL in Australia, apart from one stint with LPL in Sri Lanka, and for Quetta Gladiator in the PSL, and also captained the Afghanistan U-19 team in the 2018 World Cup, won by Prithvi Shaw-led India.

Last year, he was in the news when he took a break from the ODIs to prepare for the t20 World Cup, held in Australia.

“I have made a decision to take a leave from ODI cricket with immediate effect,” he said in the note. “My decision is based on considering the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia coming later this year, and I want to prepare myself physically and mentally for the event.”

Naveen brings pace and a plethora of slower variations, including a potent back-of-the-hand slower delivery. His variations with awkward action have caused trouble to the batsmen in the IPL.

  Cristiano Ronaldo   is feeling at home again. It took only two games for him to make his peace with Portugal’s national team and show he is not done impressing at the international level just yet. In his return after a disappointing World Cup and a controversial move to Saudi soccer, the 38-year-old Ronaldo scored four goals in Portugal’s first two games in 2024 European Championship qualifying, showing he remains the leader that fans got used to seeing wearing the national team’s red and green uniform. Ronaldo netted twice in the 6-0 rout of Luxembourg on Sunday, three days after scoring another brace in the 4-0 win over Liechtenstein when he became the men’s player with the most international appearances with 197. “Two games, two victories,” the Portugal captain said on his social media accounts after the win at Luxembourg. “Happy to have contributed to a very positive start by our national team. Let’s go.” The goals came against European minnows but seemed to be enough to...

  Australian middle-order batsman  Travis Head   said being dropped for the opening test in India came as a surprise after “robust” conversations with the selectors, and he was ready to play anywhere in the line-up after being recalled. The 29-year-old aggressive left-hander Travis Head was left out of the team for the first test of the four-match series in Nagpur after struggling against spin on the tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. “It was something that I didn’t expect coming here,” Travis Head told reporters in New Delhi. “The conversations were robust. Everyone has different opinions. I respect the coaching staff and selectors and I have a strong relationship with them. “I think that’s what made the conversations the way they went because there’s respect that goes both ways and we were able to voice our opinions. “I woke up the next morning and I’m still on tour playing for Australia, I still get to do what I love to do. I’d love to be competing and playing but there’...
