Pakistan's left-arm pacer Muhammad Aamir announced retirement from Test cricket on Friday but affirmed his commitment to continue playing limited-overs for his country.

Aamir, 27, has been indicating for some time now that he wanted to quit playing Test cricket and focus on one-day internationals and T20s.

In a statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board, Aamir said: "It has been an honour to represent Pakistan in the pinnacle and traditional format of the game. I, however, have decided to move away from the longer version so I can concentrate on white ball cricket."
"I want to thank all my team-mates as well the opponents in red ball cricket. It has been a privilege to play with and against them. I am sure our paths will continue to cross in limited-overs cricket as all of us play and compete with the same vigour and determination."
