Speaking to the media at a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) event, Malik said that doesn't have any interest in playing for Pakistan now. "I have already said that I do not have any interest in playing for the Pakistan Cricket team. I have already retired from two formats, Tests and ODIs. In T20Is, I do not have any interest in playing for the Pakistan team. So my plan is to retire from all forms of cricket once and for all," he said.
