Usman Qadir, son of late cricket legend Abdul Qadir, announced his retirement from Pakistan cricket at 31 on Thursday (Oct 3). Taking to social media to announce his decision publicly, Qadir expressed his heartfelt gratitude while taking immense pleasure in representing Pakistan as he steps aside from the game.&nbsp;

Qadir, a leg spinner, who represented Pakistan in 26 matches, including 25 T20Is and one ODI, confirmed his cricketing days are behind him.

"Today, I am announcing my retirement from Pakistan cricket," Qadir said. "As I reflect on this unforgettable journey, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. It has been an immense honour to represent my country, and I'm thankful for the support of my coaches and teammates who have been with me every step of the way."

Qadir made his international debut against Zimbabwe in Rawalpindi in 2020, with his last match coming against Bangladesh at Hangzhou in China during the 2023 Asian Games. The right-arm leggie picked 32 wickets across both formats, with his best of 4/13 coming against Zimbabwe in his debut series. Qadir made headlines for his star show then, bagging eight wickets in three matches.

At the top of his game, Pakistan fans tipped Usman to carry forward his father’s legacy, only for Shadab Khan to hijack his place in the white-ball side soon after.&nbsp;

Although he began his first-class career 11 years ago in 2013, Usman expressed his desire to represent Australia in international cricket in 2018. He made his Western Australia debut the same year, playing for Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder in the BBL later.

Soon after, his performances dipped, with disciplinary concerns worsening his chances of making his Australia debut. In 2019, Qadir was charged with breaking speed limit rules and summoned to court.

<h2>When Abdul Qadir’s death sparked Usman’s patriotism</h2>

Usman’s father and cricket great, Abdul Qadir, passed away due to a sudden cardiac arrest in 2019, sparking a significant push in Usman's commitment to Pakistan, the country of his birth.&nbsp;

Soon after, even before he publicly declared his interest in returning to Pakistan and playing for them, Misbah-ul-Haq named him in the squad for the Australia series.&nbsp;

Dodgy performances led to his exit from the team, though he lately played for Markhors in the recently concluded Champions One Day Cup.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, last year in May, his relationship with the PCB turned ugly after he accused the Pakistan Cricket Board of mismanaging his injury, stating he had screenshots and other evidence to prove it.&nbsp;

As he parted ways with the game he always loved, Usman further wrote, "As I step into this new chapter, I will be continuing my dad's legacy, embracing both my love for cricket and the lessons he instilled in me. I carry with me the spirit of Pakistan cricket and the cherished memories we created together."

A Pakistani police constable has been arrested after killing a man with an axe who was acquitted of blasphemy charges last year, a police spokesman said.

Waqas Ahmed was tried and acquitted in 2016 over a Facebook post.

Abdul Qadir, a policeman in Rahim Yar Khan, Punjab province, was enraged by the verdict and assaulted him with a cleaver late on Friday.&nbsp;

"He... had been planning to kill him since 2016 over allegations of disrespecting the Prophet Mohammed," said Rana Muhammad Ashraf, a police official.

Ahmed Nawaz, a police spokesman, confirmed the incident, adding that the victim's brother was also injured in the attack.

"The constable voluntarily gave himself up to the police," Nawaz said.

According to police, the attacker and the victim were both from the same tribe and village, and they were examining whether there was any personal animosity between them.&nbsp;

In Pakistan, blasphemy is a serious offence, punishable by death. The law, however, is difficult to fight as it does not clearly define what is blasphemous. Presenting evidence can sometimes be considered a violation in itself.

Blasphemy is a controversial topic in the Islamic Republic, with critics claiming that the rules are sometimes used to settle personal scores and unfairly target minorities.&nbsp;

Man acquitted of blasphemy killed by Pakistani policemen with an axe

Former Pakistan spinner Abdul Qadir, credited for reviving the art of leg-spin bowling in the 1970s and 80s, died of a heart attack in his hometown Lahore, his son told AFP on Friday.

"My father never had a heart problem so it was sudden and shocking that he suffered a severe attack and could not survive," Salman Qadir told AFP.

Qadir, who would have turned 64 on September 15, was one of the favourites of former captain Imran Khan -- now Pakistan's prime minister.

Qadir made his Test debut against England in 1977 and went on to play 67 Tests, taking 236 wickets with a best of 9-65 against England at the same venue in 1987.

Those figures are still the best by a Pakistan bowler in a Test inning.

He also took 132 wickets in 104 one-day internationals, with Imran using him as an attacking weapon in the 1983 World Cup held in England.

He played last of his international matches in 1993.

Qadir's unique dancing action was as attractive as it was destructive, spinning the ball prodigiously and had a lethal googly and a flipper.

Legendary Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne — the second-highest Test wicket-taker with 708 (only behind Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan's 800) -- was also a big fan of Qadir.

Former Pakistan captains Wasim Akram, Moin Khan, Rashid Latif and Waqar Younis led the condolence messages, saying Qadir's death was "a great loss of Pakistan cricket".

"We have lost a great man who was an institution in himself," said Wasim who played alongside Qadir in the 1980s.
