This current Kanpur test could be his last as well.

Dude has asked for safety and post that clearance to leave BD for good.

 

Awamis aren't safe in BD anymore no matter who you are.

The spinner version of  ' Imran khan from wish' - started out as by far their best bowler, then got progressively **** as a bowler, which is odd for a spinner ( they are supposed to get better with age and not worse like fast bowlers who peak in late 20s/early 30s and go downhill mostly due to physicality of the job) and started as a bowler who could bat a bit who progressively became better batsman than a bowler.

Only Rahim would be left as the 1st gen of BD superstar.

 

Good career, they kept Bd competitive, became a tough side to beat at home , 6th most mos in Odis

He was one of my fav player at one point ... till his nutbaggery started. Regardless, the record he held as the top allrounder in all format for that long, I doubt anyone in modern cricket can replicate that. I guess he will call it a quit permanently on his international career after champions trophy?
