Hafeez said goodbye to the dismissal



Mohammad Hafeez had made a great hundred against Australia last month after a long break. Then, in the last seven innings, Mohammad Hafeez's bat came just 66 runs.

On the second day of the ongoing Abu Dhabi Test against New Zealand, the Pakistani opener heard the final call on Tuesday after the long duration of the day was out of the stomach.

38-year-old Hafeez has made a difficult decision to dismiss Test cricket before being dropped from the team.

After the second day's play on Tuesday, he told the press conference that this is his last Test. Hafeez's Test debut came in 55 Tests so far with 10 centuries and 3644 runs at 12th, against Bangladesh in 2003.

In the absence of Hafeez, Yasir Shahar has increased more than the fastest 200-wicket record in the white dress on Tuesday. Pakistan's leg-spinner reached the record-breaking distance of three wickets on the first day of his 33rd Test on Monday.

200 needed to reach and only two wickets. New Zealand started the second day with 229 runs for seven wickets in the first innings to 277 runs. Off-spinner Bilal Asif, who holds the remaining three wickets on Tuesday, has been waiting for Yasir. He is the Pakistan's successful bowler in the first innings with five wickets in 65 runs. BJ Watling was unbeaten when he was outplayed by the West Indies, who scored an unbeaten 77 in his 50-ball innings.

At the end of the second day, Pakistan made 139 for three wickets in reply. Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq were unbeaten on 26 runs. Pakistan still trailing by 135 runs with seven wickets in hand After losing two wickets for 17 runs with Trent Boult's strike, Azhar returned to the orbit with Haris Sohel (34) and Shafiq.

Short score

New Zealand 1st Innings: 274 (Raval 45, Kane Williamson 89, Watling 77 * Yasir Shah 3/75, Bilal Asif 5/65)
