Former Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim announced his retirement from Twenty20 international cricket on Sunday, three days after the team's unceremonious exit from the Asia Cup.
"Today, I am announcing my retirement from T20 internationals," Mushfiqur, 35, said in statement on social media.
"I will proudly continue to represent Bangladesh in Test and ODI formats. I am hopeful that I can bring success for our nation in these two formats," he added.
Mushfiqur added that he would continue to take part in the Bangladesh Premier League and other Twenty20 franchise tournaments.
Mushfiqur's announcement came after Bangladesh lost their Group B matches in the Asia Cup against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in United Arab Emirates, in which he contributed only five runs.
It was his comeback tournament having missed the previous two series against the West Indies and Zimbabwe.
