Sabka time khatam ho chuka hain, ghum hota jab saare khel rahe hote aur mein retire kar raha hota (everyone's time is up; there will be sadness only if others are playing and only I had quit!)," Munaf told Indian Express.
Even though he is retiring from the sport, Munaf still won't be letting go of the sport and will take part in the upcoming T10 League in the UAE.

New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Monday sought response from Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on a plea challenging his election from the Varuna assembly constituency in the 2023 state elections.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice to Siddaramaiah seeking his reply on a plea filed by one K Shankara.
"Issue notice," the bench said.
Shankara has moved the apex court challenging an April 22 order of the Karnataka High Court which dismissed his plea seeking to declare the election of Siddaramaiah from the Varuna assembly constituency as void.
The petitioner alleged that Siddaramaiah had indulged in corrupt practice under the provision of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
The high court had dismissed Shankara's election petition.
