T20 World Cup 2021 happened exactly one year ago in the United Arab Emirates and Oman. The next T20 World Cup will commence on October 16 with the Round 1. Although the gap between the two World Cups is of just one year, a lot has changed as far as the team’s combinations, players and captains are concerned.
For instance, the captain of the Indian cricket team is Rohit Sharma, who was the vice-captain last year. Similarly, Ravi Shastri was the head coach of the Indian cricket team in the previous T20 World Cup, but this year, the head coach is Rahul Dravid. Arshdeep Singh, who had not played a single T20 international until last year’s World Cup, is now the main death bowler of the team.
Similarly, two players who played in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 have announced retirement and also become the coaches of two teams. Here’s a list of those two names.
1. T20 World Cup 2021 winner Daniel Christian
Daniel Christian was one of the members of the Australian T20 World Cup team which won the World Cup in the UAE last year. Christian has retired from cricket now. He recently joined the Netherlands cricket team as a coach ahead of their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign.
The Netherlands have made some big recruitments ahead of the mega event. The Dutch board has also signed Gujarat Titans IPL 2022 winning coach Gary Kirsten. It will be exciting to see how the Netherlands team performs at the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. They are a part of the qualifying round.
2. Ryan ten Doeschate
Netherlands all-rounder Ryan ten Doeschate announced his retirement from T20I cricket after the mega event in the UAE last year. Just a few months after the Netherlands’ early exit from the mega event, ten Doeschate joined the Kent team as a full-time coach.
