New Delhi, Feb 26 : All-rounder Yusuf Pathan, who was a member of India's two World Cup-winning teams, on Friday announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
A hard-hitting batsman and effective off-spinner, 38-year-old Pathan was a member of the Indian teams that won the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa and the 2011 World Cup in India. Mahendra Singh Dhoni was captain of both teams.
"I officially announce retirement from all forms of the game. I thank my family, friends, fans, teams, coaches and the whole country wholeheartedly for all the support and love. I am sure you will continue to encourage me in future as well," Pathan, who represented Baroda in domestic tournaments, said in a statement posted on Twitter.
