Qadir, renowned for his wrist spin bowling, represented Pakistan in 25 T20Is and one ODI, taking 31 wickets at an impressive average of 18.48 and an economy rate of 7.95.
He made his international debut in November 2020 against Zimbabwe in Rawalpindi, achieving his best figures of 4/13 in the same series, along with two three-wicket hauls against the same team.
In his retirement announcement, Qadir reflected on his journey: “Today, I announce my retirement from Pakistan cricket. It has been a tremendous honor to represent my country, and I am deeply grateful for the support of my coaches and teammates throughout this journey. From memorable victories to the challenges we faced, every moment has shaped my career and enriched my life. I also want to thank the passionate fans whose unwavering support has meant everything to me.”
” As I embark on this new chapter, I will continue my father’s legacy, embracing my love for cricket and the lessons he taught me. I carry with me the spirit of Pakistan cricket and the cherished memories we created together. Thank you for everything.”
In addition to his international career, Qadir played for the Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers in Australia’s Big Bash League, taking 16 wickets in 18 matches with an economy of 8.44. At just 31 years old, he still has much to contribute to franchise cricket.
