T20 World Cup 2024 will start a new era in cricket. It will be the first ever T20 WC with 20 teams participating. Also, for the first time ever, the tournament will be played in the West Indies and the United States of America.
While for the new cricketing nations, this will be the dawn of a new era, for quite a few cricketers, this might the end of their cricketing careers as well. Fans have seen many players announce retirement at the end of the mega events, and the same trend might continue this year. Here’s a list of the five cricketers who may retire after T20 World Cup 2024.
1. David Warner has confirmed retirement after T20 World Cup 2024
Australian opener David Warner has already confirmed that he will retire from international cricket after the T20 World Cup. He has already retired from Tests and ODIs, and post the mega event in West Indies and USA, he will never wear the Australian jersey again.
2. Andre Russell may retire after T20 World Cup 2024
Andre Russell has returned to the West Indies team for the home T20 WC. Considering his contracts in foreign leagues and fitness issues, Russell may end his international career after the mega event.
3. David Wiese
Former South African all-rounder David Wiese has turned up for Namibia in the last two T20 WCs. The senior player may do the same again. Considering that he will be 40 by the time T20 WC 2026 arrives, Wiese may consider retirement now.
4. Quinton de Kock
Quinton de Kock has already mentioned how his body feels much older to him even though he is in early 30s only. The South African wicketkeeper batter may continue playing in the T20 leagues, but he may be done with international cricket after the T20 WC 2024.
