‘Never give up till you die’: Shoaib Malik encourages fans

Pakistani all-rounder Shoaib Malik was seen encouraging his followers in a tweet on Friday.

Malik, 41, stated that no matter what a person wants to achieve, one should never stop trying hard for that thing.

"Never give up till you die. If you really want to achieve something in life, regardless of whatever it is, the trying part should remain the same," Malik said.

Malik is currently representing Mississauga Panthers as a captain in Global T20 Canada.

In their first match against Brampton Wolves, Malik didn’t have a very pleasant evening as the 41-year-old could only score one off six balls.

Malik’s next assignment with the Canadian franchise will be against Vancouver Knights on July 22.

Other than that, the 41-year-old will also feature in the upcoming inaugural edition of the Sindh Premier League.

Malik is one of the longest-serving players in Pakistan cricket. Making his international debut against West Indies at Sharjah in October 1999, Malik is still going strong at the top level even after almost 24 years since his debut.

The all-rounder made his ODI debut in 1999, then went on to represent Pakistan in 287 one-day matches, where he scored 7534 runs at 34.55 while also taking 158 wickets.

Malik’s Test career was short as the all-rounder only played 35 matches in total, scoring 1898 runs at 35.14 with a career-best score of 245 against England in 2015 in UAE. He took 32 wickets in the process.

In T20I, the 34-year-old scored 2435 runs at 31.21 with a strike rate of 125.64, he also took 28 wickets in 49 innings.

Other than that, Shoaib Malik was also a part of the 2009 ICC T20 World Cup and 2017 Champions Trophy winning team.

Although despite being the third all-time top scorer in the Pakistan Super League (PLS) history with 2082 runs, Malik has never won a PSL trophy.
