The 38-year player has been recalled in the T20 team which will play three T20 international series against Bangladesh, commencing here from January 24.

"I represented the country for as many as 17 years and always put in my best efforts to inspire the team to success and leading the Pak team in 29 T20 internationals is a pride for me. Out of these 29 T20 games Pakistan won 17, lost 11 as one ended in a tie."

To a question, he said he want to serve the game till T20 world cup being played later this year in Australia. " I want to retire after T20 Cup to end my career on good memorable note," he asserted.

Hafeez retired from Tests in December 2018 after playing 55 Tests but was more successful in limited over formats, scoring 6,614 runs and took 139 wickets in 218 one-day internationals.
