    "editor1": "<p><strong>Lahore, Feb 15:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Veteran Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik has said he will be making a decision about his international retirement around the T20 World Cup slated to be played in Australia this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The World Cup is still far off and I think right now my focus is on the Pakistan Super League and coming matches for Pakistan. When I get closer to the World Cup I will see what to do,&quot; Malik told reporters on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I will have to see my fitness and position in the national side closer to the World Cup and then I will take a decision on final retirement,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The former Pakistan skipper had retired from ODIs after last year&#39;s World Cup in England. After three games at the World Cup in which he scored 8, 0 and 0, he was dropped from the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, recently he was called for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh. In the first T20I, he even scored an unbeaten 50 and showed no signs of rustiness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 38-year-old, who has played 35 Tests, 287 ODIs and 113 T20Is for Pakistan, is now focusing on making most of the every opportunity available.<\/p>\r\n",
