    2. If only Assumption II is implicit
    3. If either Assumption I or II is implicit
    4. If both Assumptions I and II are implicit

'Retirement from international cricket' means Shoaib does not play test cricket now as test cricket is a part of the international cricket. Hence, Assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is also implicit because it is clearly said that Shoaib targeted Tendulkar through his book and book is a write up.
