    What's the story

    Bangladesh's veteran cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim has decided to give up his wicket-keeping duties in Test cricket to focus solely on batting and prolong his career.

    The senior cricketer feels he has too much on his plate.

    He has been representing Bangladesh in all three formats and continues to play in domestic T20 leagues.

    Here's more on the same.

    I am not interested to keep wickets in Test: Rahim

    Mushfiqur highlighted things are getting overloaded for him in the game.

    "I am not interested to keep wickets in Test. Now there are lots of games in the upcoming days and I play in all formats. Apart from international cricket, I play in DPL [Dhaka Premier League] and BPL [Bangladesh Premier League]. Considering everything, I think it is getting a bit overloaded," he said.

    Information

    Rahim has informed Bangladesh coach about his decision

    Mushfiqur has informed head coach Russell Domingo about his decision to quit wicket-keeping in the longest format of the game. Domingo has reportedly agreed after consulting other members of the team management. However, he is set to keep in limited-overs cricket as of now.
