One of the most popular sports in the world, cricket is in the midst of one of its biggest celebrations, the World Cup. Things have reached a point where the battles will find out its champion team as the 10 best teams from around the world face off for world champion glory.
Hosts India have qualified for the semi-finals by winning their first seven matches. It should also be noted that teams including Bangladesh have been eliminated without seeing the semi-finals. As the World Cup enters its final phase, the stars are all putting on a spirited performance for their teams.
But let’s see who are the players who may not play another chance in this world cup which is going on for another 4 years.
1. Naveen ul Haq
The star had announced that the 2023 ODI World Cup would be his last tournament in the ODI format. Naveen, who made his international debut in 2016, has so far represented Afghanistan in 13 ODIs and has taken 20 wickets with figures of 4/42.
In the ongoing CWC 2023, Naveen took a total of 6 wickets in the World Cup with a brilliant performance of 2/48 against New Zealand in Chennai. 2/52 against Pakistan in a match dominated by Afghanistan.
2. Mushfiqur Rahim
Mushfiqur Rahim played his first ODI World Cup in 2007. This is his fifth World Cup. The great legend of Bangladesh cricket has so far scored 7,577 runs in 263 ODIs with 9 centuries at an average of 36.78. He started his World Cup campaign with impressive performances, scoring half-centuries against England and New Zealand. But with the declining form of the Bangladesh team, Rahim’s form also took a turn for the worse. With Bangladesh already out of contention for the semi-finals, it could turn out to be a sad farewell for such a brilliant cricketer.
3 Angelo Mathews
Angelo Mathews was unexpectedly left out of the Sri Lanka squad originally announced for the 2023 ODI World Cup. But with the team plagued by multiple injuries, Mathews made a surprise return to the team and made an immediate impact in the win against England.
However, nothing much could be done in the subsequent matches. With Sri Lanka out of the World Cup, the chances of seeing the star in the ODI format are slim. At the age of 36, Mathews may find the time right to say goodbye to ODI cricket and stay in the Test format, which suits his batting style as well.
4 Ravichandran Ashwin
Ashwin’s inclusion in the ODI World Cup squad came as a shock to everyone. The 37-year-old Ashwin, who lifted the trophy with the Indian team in 2011, is already an ODI World Cup winner. After the first match against Australia, the player did not get any opportunities.
This is his third World Cup. Ashwin has taken 156 wickets in 116 ODIs with figures of 4/25. Even before the start of the World Cup, he had said that this might be his last ODI World Cup match and that he would give his maximum.
5 David Willey
England pacer David Willey has announced that he will retire from international cricket after the 2023 ODI World Cup. The actor announced his retirement through Instagram. Willey, who made his debut for England against Ireland in May 2015, has announced his retirement after the end of this marquee event.
Willie has taken 94 wickets in 70 matches for England and 51 wickets in 43 T20 matches. Willy has played 11 IPL matches and has taken 6 wickets. The player is performing well in the World Cup.
6 Shakib Al Hasan
Perhaps the greatest cricketer Bangladesh has ever produced, Shakib Al Hasan may also bid farewell to ODI cricket after the 2023 ODI World Cup. As captain, he failed to lead the team to the semi-finals, managing only one win in 7 games. Bangladesh became the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup.
Also, Shakib failed to contribute in batting and bowling in the tournament. Before the start of CWC 2023, Shakib, who has 315 wickets and 7’488 runs in 246 ODIs, had said in a press conference that he would consider retiring after the 2025 Champions Trophy. But retirement may be early in the wake of poor performance.
7 David Warner
David Warner has said that a chapter of his career is over. It is almost certain that the curtain will fall on his Test career with a Test series against Pakistan in Sydney next year and an ODI career after this World Cup.. Warner is in brilliant form with 413 runs from 6 matches in the 2023 ODI World Cup with 2 centuries. , in ODIs, Warner has scored 6,810 runs in 156 matches at an average of 46.01 with 22 centuries.
8 Mohammed Shami
Mohammad Shami is in great form in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Shami took 14 wickets in 3 matches despite being rested in the first four matches. Incredibly, in these three matches, the pacer has two five-wicket hauls to his name. He played a major role in India’s victories against New Zealand, England and recently Sri Lanka. Shami, who played only 14 World Cup matches, managed to take 45 wickets so far. Since his debut in 2013, he has taken 185 wickets in 97 ODIs with 4 wickets and a hat-trick in the 2019 World Cup. In any case, at the age of 33, Shami is unlikely to be considered for another ODI tournament. He will be in the T20 and Test teams.
