By Sports Writer

WARRIORS captain Knowledge Musona has announced his retirement from international football at the age of 31.

The Saudi Arabia-based forward confirmed his retirement in a statement on Thursday, joining his teammate Khama Billiat who also called time on his national team career early this year.

โ€œIt is a decision that I do not take lightly after representing our beloved country for 12 years, starting with my first appearance on the 3rd of March 2010, in a game versus South Africa.

โ€œMy time with the Warriors has been an incredible and rewarding journey that I am thankful to have had the opportunity to undertake, one that I only dreamt of achieving early on in my professional career. I will cherish every moment that I have spent as a member of the team.

โ€œI am retiring to concentrate on my career at the club level and to afford my other teammates and rising stars the opportunity to represent our beloved country.โ€

Musonaโ€™s retirement comes at a time Zimbabwe is currently suspended from international football by FIFA due to government interference in the running of the game in the country.
