I am retiring from international cricket from this moment.\u201d<br \/>\nThanking the teammates and the coaching staff, Iqbal added, \u201cI want to thank all my teammates, coaches, BCB officials, my family members, and those who have been with me through my long journey. They kept faith in me.\u201d<br \/>\nHe also thanked the fans, saying, \u201cI also want to thank the fans. Your love and faith in me inspired me to give my very best for Bangladesh. I want to ask for your prayers for the next chapter of my life. Please keep me in your prayers.\u201d<br \/>\nIqbal made his international debut in 2007 and has represented Bangladesh in 70 Tests, 241 ODIs and 78 T20Is.
