Cricket World Cup 2023 will happen later this year, and it will be one of the biggest and most spectacular editions of the mega event ever played. The tournament started in the year 1975, with eight teams. Over the years, ICC has changed the number of teams, but now it has come to 10 in the year 2023.
Many cricket fans consider this World Cup as the most prestigious one because it happens once in four years and every cricketer dreams to play in this event. Some of the senior players even play the final tournaments of their careers at the grand stage. In this listicle now, we will look at the four such cricketers who may not play another Cricket World Cup after 2023.
1. Cricket World Cup 2023 might be the last of Rohit Sharma’s career
Indian captain Rohit Sharma is currently 36 years old. He will be 40 by the time the next World Cup arrives. Perhaps, Rohit may play in T20 World Cup 2024 and ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but it seems unlikely that he will be ready to play World Cup in 2027.
2. Cricket World Cup 2023 will likely be the last of David Warner’s career
Another opening batter to feature on this list is Australia’s David Warner. The left-handed batter has already confirmed that he will play his last Test match in January 2024. The 36-year-old may not be active as a cricketer when the 2027 World Cup happens.
3. Moeen Ali
All-rounder Moeen Ali will be 39 years old when the 2027 World Cup happens. Although Ali is one of the fittest players among the seniors, he may find it challenging to play at the top level at the age of 39.
4. Mohammad Nabi
Mohammad Nabi is 38 years old right now. He will be 42 when the next World Cup comes around in 2027. The veteran Afghanistan spin-bowling all-rounder may retire from international cricket in 2025 or 2026.
