Test cricketer Fawad Alam has responded to recent rumors about his retirement from Pakistan cricket. Reports on Tuesday suggested that he was planning to end his international career and explore opportunities in the United States.
However, Fawad Alam has strongly denied these retirement rumors. He clarified that he hasn’t made any final decisions about retiring and that the rumors are not true.

I’m focused on playing domestic cricket, and I plan to keep playing for the next one to two years, or as long as my professional journey continues,” Fawad Alam explained.
In the past year, Alam played in three Test matches against Australia, scoring 33 runs in four innings. He also played in a single Test against Sri Lanka, contributing 25 runs. Afterward, he was not included in the Test squad.
