Tamim said "wednesday's match against Afghanistan was my last in international cricket. It is not my sudden decision, I have been thinking about it for some days. I talked to my family over the issue. I think, this is the right time for me to step away from international cricket."

He also said "during this long journey, I received support from teammates, coaches, BCB officials and my family, those who were beside me and backed me, kept their faith on me, all my supporters and Bangladesh cricket fans, I'm grateful to all of them."

Tamim, 34, had retired from T20Is around the same time last year. His last Test was Bangladesh's previous match against Ireland in April.

Tamim began his international career as a teenager with his ODI debut in February 2007 and made a match-winning half-century in Bangladesh's iconic win against India in the World Cup in the West Indies.
