\nJaveria Khan has announced her retirement from international cricket 15 years after making her ODI debut in Kurunegala, Sri Lanka in a Women\u2019s Asia Cup fixture against Sri Lanka on 6 May 2008. The right-handed batter made her T20I debut against Ireland in Dublin in 2009.
\nJaveria went on to represent Pakistan women\u2019s team in 228 international matches and scored 4,903 runs, which included two centuries and 25 half-centuries. She also bagged 28 international wickets.
\nJaveria is currently listed as the second leading run scorer in ODIs and T20Is for the Pakistan women\u2019s team and is the only women\u2019s cricketer from Pakistan to have scored over 2,000 runs in each format besides Bismah Maroof.
\nShe represented Pakistan in four 50-over World Cups (2009, 2013, 2017 and 2022) and in all eight T20 World Cups (2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2023) held since its inception.
\nJaveria was also part of the Pakistan women\u2019s team squad that won Gold medals in the 2010 and 2014 Asian Games held in China and South Korea, respectively.
\nJaveria also captained Pakistan women\u2019s team in 17 ODIs and 16 T20Is. Among the 16 T20Is, she captained the side in two editions (2018 and 2020) of ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cups.
\nThe 35-year-old Karachi born player also participated in the PCB Level 2 Cricket Coach course held in August last year in Lahore.
\nJaveria Khan said: \u201cI want to call it a day and announce my retirement, however, I will be available for league cricket. I am grateful to the unwavering support I received throughout my career. I want to thank my family, teammates, the Pakistan Cricket Board, my department ZTBL for their support and guidance at each step, and my fans whose appreciation was instrumental in bringing out the best in me.
\n\u201cI have been blessed to hold Pakistan\u2019s flag globally,\u201d she added.
\nHead of Women\u2019s Cricket, Tania Mallick said: \u201cOn behalf of the PCB and all cricket fans, I extend heartfelt gratitude to Javeria Khan for her invaluable contributions to women\u2019s cricket in Pakistan.
\n\u201cHer glittering records with the bat speak for themselves and I am confident that her illustrious career will inspire many girls in the country to not just take up this sport but also excel at it across many years.
\n\u201cAs Javeria announces her retirement, we reflect on her remarkable career and services she has rendered for Pakistan cricket. We thank her for her untiring commitment and wish her all the success in her future endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
