Pakistan's seasoned all-rounder Shahid Afridi has said that he will be retiring from one-day internationals after the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Afridi, who has played 389 ODIs, said that he wanted to go out of ODIs with self-respect and was the first Pakistan player to be able to announce his retirement properly, the BBC reported.
According to him, it was not an easy decision to make as many of his seniors had found it difficult to go out at the right time.
Leading Pakistan to the 2011 World Cup semi-finals, the 34-year-old all-rounder has a batting strike rate of 23.49 and has also taken 391 wickets in one-day internationals.
Although, he would remain as Pakistan's Twenty20 captain and would be focusing on winning the T20 World Cup India in 2016.
