Re: March 21, Group D Pakistan vs Zimbabwe (Pak team reluctant to play)
He decided for his retirement by himself....no body forced him.....besides he was insensitive enough to retire on the day of his coach's death.
I personally think that he decided to announce his retirement as he knew that people will be wanting his head on a platter, so he decided to announce his retirement from ODI in the hope that it would be enough to keep him in Test Cricket.
