Wasim quits Internationals

Tuesday, May 20 2003

Pakistan all-rounder Wasim Akram has retired from International Cricket after a distinguished 19-year career, in order to help Pakistan build for 2007.

Wasim, dropped for the current Bank AlFalah Triangular Tournament after a disappointing World Cup, was unlikely to get back in the side as it was.

Wasim played in 104 Tests scoring 2898 runs at 22.64, including a double century, and taking 414 wickets at 23.62. In 356 ODIs he scored 3717 runs at 16.52 and took 502 wickets at 23.52.
