The left-handed batter featured in 22 Tests, 30 ODIs, and 62 T20Is for England, and is just one of the two England batters to have registered centuries in all three formats in the international circuit. 

The 37-year-old Malan had not featured in an England shirt since the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, and has called time on his career after he was omitted from the Australia white-ball series. 

He made his T20I debut against South Africa, scoring 78 from just 44 deliveries in Cardiff.

However, the major breakthrough came in the Ashes tour, where he scored a brilliant Test hundred in Perth.

But, he thrived in the T20I format, especially after the 2019 ODI World Cup, scoring buckets of runs. 

In September 2020, he reached the top of the International Cricket Council (ICC) batting rankings in T20Is, and also was the fastest men’s cricketer to reach 1000 runs in the format, taking just 24 innings.

Malan has 1074 runs, 1450 runs, and 1892 runs in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is, respectively.

He also was a part of the England’s T20 World Cup winning team in Australia.
