Fawad Alam rubbishes reports regarding quitting Pakistan cricket

Test cricketer Fawad Alam has responded to the news circulating about him calling time on his Pakistan career. On Tuesday, Cricbuzz reported that Alam has opted to conclude his international career with Pakistan and shift his focus towards a new chapter in the United States.

Nevertheless, Alam has rubbished the retirement reports entirely. The 37-year-old stated that he has not finalized any plans about retiring and that the rumors circulating are baseless.

"I have not arrived at any conclusive determination up to this point. I have neither parted ways with Pakistan cricket nor opted for retirement. I remain committed to participating in domestic cricket, aiming to extend my involvement for the coming one to two years, or however long my professional journey continues," Fawad clarified.

In the past year, Alam faced Australia in three Test matches, contributing 33 runs across four innings. He also participated in a solitary Test against Sri Lanka, scoring 25 runs. Following this, he was left out of the Test squad.

Over the course of his Pakistan career, Alam has featured in 19 Test matches, amassing a total of 1011 runs at an average of 38.88. Among his achievements are five centuries and two fifties.
