Afghanistan all-rounder Nabi set to retire from ODIs after Champions Trophy
Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi is set to retire from One-Day Internationals (ODIs) after the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in England and Wales.
The 33-year-old has been a key player for Afghanistan in ODIs, playing in 125 matches and scoring 3,023 runs at an average of 23.65, with four centuries and 12 fifties. He has also taken 152 wickets at an average of 27.93, with four five-wicket hauls.
Nabi has been one of the most consistent players for Afghanistan in ODIs, and his retirement will be a big loss for the team. He is a hard-hitting batsman and a useful off-spinner, and he has been a key part of Afghanistan's success in recent years.
Nabi made his ODI debut for Afghanistan in 2009, and he has been a regular member of the team ever since. He has played in two World Cups, and he was part of the Afghanistan team that won the 2015 ACC Trophy Elite.
Nabi's retirement from ODIs will not come as a surprise, as he has been hinting at it for some time. He has said that he wants to focus on his family and his T20 career, and he believes that the time is right to step away from ODIs.
Nabi will be remembered as one of the greatest players in Afghanistan's ODI history. He has been a key part of the team's success, and he has been a role model for young Afghan cricketers.
