Yousuf to announce retirement on Monday

Karachi, March 28: Hurt by the indefinite ban imposed on him by the Pakistan Cricket Board, former captain Mohammad Yousuf today decided to retire from international cricket and said he would make an announcement on Monday.

“Yes, I have decided to retire from international cricket but I will make an official announcement on Monday,” he said.
