Fakhar Zaman Denies Retirement, Plans Full Return

Fakhar Zaman, a key player for the Pakistan National Cricket Team, has publicly denied any plans to retire from cricket, expressing his commitment to continue playing in all formats, including ODIs, T20s, and Tests. Zaman addressed the rumors following his withdrawal from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to a lower back injury sustained in the opening match against New Zealand. Although his thyroid condition may require some time off, he assured fans of his return, with the Pakistan Cricket Board confirming his intentions to resume cricket within a month. Zaman's absence has impacted the team, contributing to their early exit from the tournament.
