Former national skipper and top order batsman Faruque Ahmed has
decided to retire from international cricket. In a letter to
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday, Faruque, who will celebrate
his 33rd birthday today, has expressed his desire to retire. BCB
general secretary Syed Ashraful Huq confirmed last night that they
have received the letter from Faruque.
Faruque, who plays for Biman, made his international debut in an ODI
against Pakistan at Chittagong way back on October 29, 1988, and
played his last ODI at Chester-le-Street against Australia in the
England World Cup on May 27 this year.
In his ten-year long international career, Faruque had mixed fortunes,
as he played only seven ODIs for Bangladesh. In his seven innings,
Faruque scored a total of 105 runs averaging 15.00. His highest score
of 57 came against India in Chandrigarh on December 25, 1990.
