Indian tennis star Sania Mirza and wife of former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has said she is proud of her husband's achievements but "every story has an end."
Malik, 37, announced his retirement from one-day cricket on Friday, following Pakistan's win in the last group games against Bangladesh in the World Cup.
Taking to Twitter Mirza wrote, “Every story has an end, but in life, every ending is a new beginning. You have proudly played for your country for 20 years and you continue to do so with so much honour and humility."
“Izhaan and I are so proud of everything you have achieved but also for who you are. Here’s to a few more thousand T20 runs,” she added.
