Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik believes he can play two more years and wants to continue for Pakistan until captain Babar Azam asks him to step aside.

“As I said, I have clear and open communication with Babar. I can play for another two to three years but I have not made up my mind about it because I want to retire with respect. If Babar asks me to play then I will play otherwise I will step aside respectfully,” said

“I asked Babar to communicate with me, even if that means playing limited series. He told me to play the series against Bangladesh and I did. Following that, we had a series against West Indies and Babar said he wanted to play a couple of youngsters and I stepped aside and rested for that series,” said Malik in an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan.

Malik further added that he is on the same page with Babar and has asked him to keep him in the loop in regards to his services towards Pakistan cricket.

“I have asked Babar to tell me clearly even if my services are no longer required because clarity is the most important thing for every cricketer, especially for those who have served Pakistan cricket for as long as I have,” he added.
