Retirement: There is a wave of retirement in international cricket these days. Many giants from Australia, England and West Indies including India have broken fans by saying goodbye to cricket one after the other. West Indies wicketkeeper-batsman Nicholas Puran surprised everyone by saying goodbye to international cricket at the age of 29. At the same time, Andre Russell has also given the date of his international match. In this sequence, today we are going to tell you about 5 more such players, who can announce retirement soon.
38 -year -old Andre Fletcher has been out of the West Indies team for a long time. He did not play any ODI after 2016 and was not included in the T20 team since 2024. Fletcher, who plays 25 ODIs and 60 T20 matches, is no longer likely to return to any format, so his retirement is considered almost fixed.
The career of Hetmyer, once considered a future star, is now on the slope. He is out of 2019 from the Test team, while the performance in ODI and T20 is also constantly falling. He has scored 983 runs in 64 T20 matches at a strike rate of just 121.35. The trust of the board has also been removed from them.
The name of former West Indies captain Jason Holder has also been added to those who take a retirement. He is no longer in the Test and ODI team and is sometimes seen in T20. There is no question on the experience of the holder, but the team management is not seeing him in future plans.
Spinner Akil Hussain is also out of ODI and Test team. He never got a chance in the Test and was out of ODIs two years before the ODI. His performance in T20 has been average – just 65 wickets in 70 matches. In such a situation, speculation of his retirement has intensified.
Former T20 captain of the team, Rowman Powell, is also getting out of the West Indies’ plans. He is out of ODI for two years and the T20 captaincy has also been taken away from him. He never got a chance in the Test. In such a situation, Powell’s name has also been added to those players who can soon bid farewell to some format.
