The ODI World Cup 2023 is just around the corner and is scheduled to begin on October 5 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with a match between the World Cup champions from 2019 England and New Zealand. For the preliminary preparations, nearly all of the teams have landed in India. Ace cricket players from around the world are set to have a tough and challenging game.
For several of the young athletes from all the participating countries, the next major event will be their first major competition. However, several athletes will be participating in their final World Cup. In light of this, let’s look at the players who might retire following the ODI World Cup in 2023.
Cricket players to retire after ODI World Cup 2023:
5. David Warner:
David Warner, a seasoned opening left-handed batter for Australia, has dedicated a lot of time to his country. Warner will, however, reportedly retire from all forms of cricket over the course of the following year, making this year’s World Cup his final ODI World Cup, according to numerous reports.
4. Trent Boult:
Trent Boult, a well-known fast bowler from New Zealand, terminated his agreement with the national cricket board earlier this year in order to spend more time with his family and concentrate on the franchise leagues. He was persuaded to play for the Blackcaps in the upcoming World Cup, but it is speculated that he may retire after the major competition.
3. Ben Stokes:
Ben Stokes, the standout all-rounder for England and World Cup MVP in 2019, retired from the 50-over format but will be called up for the ODI World Cup in 2023. It won’t be inaccurate to suggest that after representing England in the future major tournament, he will once more take his retirement.
2. Kane Williamson:
Kane Williamson, the captain of the New Zealand cricket team and a seasoned batter, is still recovering from an injury he suffered during the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite being a member of the World Cup squad, Williamson is rumoured to be planning to devote all of his attention to the Test format, which might indicate that he will soon retire from ODI cricket.
1. Rohit Sharma:
Rohit Sharma, the captain of India and a dangerous opener, will serve as the team’s captain for the first time during an ODI World Cup. Given that Rohit is currently 36 years old, there is a good likelihood that he will stop playing ODIs following the 2023 World Cup.
The One Day International Cricket World Championship is known as the Cricket World Cup, or ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. The International Cricket Council, the organisation in charge of overseeing the sport, organises the event every four years, with preliminary qualification rounds preceding a finals competition.
