Former Bangladesh Cricket captain Mushfiqur Rahim has retired from One Day International (ODI) cricket.

The 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman announced his retirement with immediate effect. He made his ODI debut in 2006 against New Zealand and went on to become Bangladesh's most-capped ODI player.

In his career, Mushfiqur played 274 matches, scoring 7,795 runs with 9 centuries. As a wicketkeeper, he took 243 catches and made 56 stumpings. He also led the Bangladesh team as captain from 2011 to 2014.

Bangladesh recently crashed out of the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan after losing to India and New Zealand in the group stage.
