Former Bangladesh skipper Rajin Saleh on Saturday bid an emotional announcement of retiring from all from all forms of cricket during the first day of the inaugural Test match between the Tigers and Zimbabwe.

The 34-year old, who represented Bangladesh in 24 Tests and 43 one-day internationals from 2003 to 2008, will take his retirement after the end of the last round of the ongoing National Cricket League, scheduled to start on November 5.

“I will like to thank my Almighty at first as for his blessings I could play cricket for 22 years. You know all that I have played for Bangladesh for six years. I will play my last match on 5th of this month in a NCL game and after that I will retire,” an emotional Rajin told reporters at the press box of Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

“I will like to thank the media for whom I could have become Rajin Saleh….You have made me Rajin Saleh and I am very much grateful to you all.

“My family was always with me along with you all. I seek all of your prayers,” he added.
