After David Warner’s retirement announcement, the Cricket world is in a bit of turmoil about which player might retire after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
With Australia failing to make it into the Super 8, David Warner said his adieu to his 15-year International career. The legendary opener David Warner is not the only player.
The list of players who retired after the T20 World Cup 2024 has included Black Caps pacer, Trent Boult, Netherlands Sybrand Engelbrecht, and Namibian allrounder David Wiese also retired from International cricket.
While Brian Masaba who led the Uganda team into the T20 World Cup 2024 has also stepped down from his captaincy after the team’s Group Stage exit.
The Final game is right around the corner scheduled for 29th June to announce the winner of the 9th edition of the T20 World Cup. Many cricket enthusiasts have been predicting players who will not attend the upcoming 2026 edition.
The list of players who might retire after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has included top Indian batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Rohit Sharma who has been constantly part of the T20 World Cup since its inception will take a rest from International cricket. 37, Rohit Sharma might say goodbye letting young players replace him like Hardik Pandya.
Virat Kohli is undoubtedly a key player of India but, his below-par scores in the ongoing tournament raised questions on his credibility fitting for the shortest format. 34-year-old Virat Kohli might say goodbye to white-ball cricket before the next ICC World Cup.
Bangladesh veteran allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has also announced his plan to retire from International cricket. Shakib is renowned as one of the best all-rounders in the ICC ranking. However, 37-year-old Shakib will not stay for the next 2026 T20 World Cup edition.
Andre Russell will also shock the fans with his retirement from International cricket. Russell has been participating in many domestic leagues around the world including IPL which leads to a short time for West Indies cricket. His busy schedule will be the biggest reason to hang up his boots from International cricket.
Other notable mentions are Glenn Maxwell (37), Mitchell Starc (36), and Josh Hazelwood (35) might be the next players to announce their International cricket retirement.
