He retires without a farewell game but says he is still happy that he at least once served his nation in representing at international level.

All three cricket players remain the MVPs (the most valuable players) for their respective countries. Talking about the Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara, they have actually played their potential cricket, but the fans never expected an early retirement from the star left-arm Pakistani pacer Muhammad Amir to announce an early retirement from the test format. As he has still a long way to represent his country.
