#1 Likely to retire - Shoaib Malik
In the midst of players like Shahid Afridi, Misbah ul Haq, and Younus Khan, we fail to recognize the contribution of Shoaib Malik's towards to the Pakistan cricket. One of the unsung heroes of the country's history has scored more than 7000 runs in the ODI format of the game.
Pakistan is a formidable team going into this ICC tournament, and the experience of Malik is one of the major reason for this above statement. The 36-year-old is a jack of all trades and has been a match-winner with both bat and ball on numerous occasion.
With the age not in his side, he has announced that 2019 World Cup will be his swansong. Malik has inspired a lot of budding stars in Pakistan, and it is time for them to continue the legacy left by him.
