West Indies has been in poor form in recent years. They were disappointing in the 2022 T20 World Cup, in which they failed to reach the Super 12. They are currently a part of the World Cup qualifiers. In this event, as well, West Indies is not performing well. They recently lost to the Netherlands. They still have a chance to make it to the event. However, it looks slim considering the form they are in. If they indeed fail to land a spot in the 2023 ODI WC, a few players might retire from the format. Here, we take a look at two West Indian players who might retire from ODIs if they fail to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup.
1) Jason Holder
Jason Holder is one of the West Indian players who might retire from ODIs if they fail to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup. He had a terrible outing in the Super Over against the Netherlands. Considering his profile, he might consider quitting ODIs to extend his Test career and also increase his involvement in franchise-based T20 cricket. His overall form is dropping these days and he might have to make a decision soon.
2) Rovman Powell
He has played 50 ODIs till now and still now, he is yet to make a proper impact. Yes, he might be the captain of the T20I squad but it appears that the 50-over format may not be for him. He last scored a 50 in 2018 and was recently dropped from the playing XI. Rovman Powell has good demand when it comes to T20 leagues. Therefore, he might turn himself into a T20 specialist and this could get triggered by his retirement from ODIs. Therefore, he is on this list of cricketers.
