 Ramiz calls Azhar Ali a "selfless cricketer" during his final Test.


Ramiz Raja, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, commended retiring veteran batter Azhar Ali for his contributions to Pakistan Cricket and dubbed him a selfless player who serves as an example for new players.




At Saturday's farewell Test at the National Bank Cricket Arena, Azhar, 37, struck 45 in the first over.




On the first day of the third test match between Pakistan and England, the Pakistan Cricket Board staged a small ceremony to honour the retiring batter. The event took place during the lunch break.


Chairman Ramiz gave Azhar a memento in appreciation of his distinguished 12-year career and praised the middle-order batter for making the audacious choice to announce his retirement at the height of his pro career.




"You very seldom see such players retiring on a high," he remarked. would have preferred him to play 100 Test matches, but just so you know, Azhar, I also ended up playing 198 ODIs. It doesn't matter because it's just a number.




He referred to Azhar as "a real ambassador for Pakistan cricket," noting that having such a "selfless cricketer" in the locker room meant a lot to our cricket system and squad.


"What you have accomplished is simply incredible. In times of need, you helped us all up and stood tall. You set a terrific example. Ramiz added, "I want everybody to play cricket like you, with a grin on their faces and just enjoying the game.




At the age of 25, Azhar made his Test debut in England against Australia at Lord's Cricket Ground. In just his second match, he had already reached his first Test half-century. He scored 34 half-centuries and went over 100 runs 19 times.




Azhar is Pakistan's fifth-leading Test run-getter with 7,097 runs in 96 matches at an average of 42.49, after only Younis Khan (10,099), Javed Miandad (8,832), Inzamam-ul-Haq (8,829), and Mohammad Yousuf (7,530).


Azhar, 37, is the only Pakistani batsman to record a triple century in a pink-ball Test match. He accomplished this accomplishment in 2016 in Dubai against the West Indies. His best Test cricket performance is an unbroken 302, which is still standing.




Over the course of his 12-year career, Azhar also scored two double hundreds: 226 against Bangladesh in Dhaka in May 2015 and 205 not out against Australia in Melbourne in December 2016. He has also scored at least one hundred in Australia, Bangladesh, England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, the West Indies, and Zimbabwe.




It is important to note that the top order batter left One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in 2018 after helping Pakistan win the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017.

The approaching boycott is the consequence of a bill that is traveled through Congress in the last days of the year with lightning-quick speed and bipartisan help.

After England won the last Test by an eight-wicket margin, Babar noted at a news conference that his team lacked experienced players, and that the loss of their key bowlers was a big setback.

Since their main bowlers were out of shape, Babar said, his team thought that their strength was in the batting department.
