Pakistan Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq called quits on his international career, the Pakistani media reported on Thursday.

“I am announcing my retirement from international cricket. The upcoming series against West Indies will be my last,” Misbah told reporters at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

The 42-year-old batsman, however, added that he will continue playing at domestic level and league cricket. “Regarding when I will leave domestic cricket, I will decide it later,” he said.

Having played 273 international matches, Misbah scored 10,861 runs for Pakistan in his 17-year-long span of international cricket.

West Indies are hosting Pakistan for three Test matches, to be held from April 22-May 14. 

Following Misbah’s last outing with Pakistan, opening batsman Azhar Ali is expected to take over as new Test skipper.
