The event will take place in India and T20 World Cup 2016 live streaming will be provided by many channels on TV. Cricket World Cup live streaming will also be available on internet.
But as it happens after every World Cup,
some big names in the world of cricket will retire. And this time,
there are many big names in the list of cricketers to retire after T20
World Cup 2016. These cricketers will be missed surely but no one can
stand in front of time and age. Now let us take a look at some
cricketers taking retirement from cricket after this T20 World Cup.
Names of Cricketers to retire after T20 World Cup 2016
Brendon McCullum
Brendon McCullum is the captain of the
New Zealand Black Caps. He is one of the fiercest players in the T20
format and has many records to his name in this format. He has served
his country for many years. But he is 35 years of age and hence he may
well retire from at least the T20 format after the World Cup. But his
legacy in the game will always remain.
Rangana Herath
The Sri Lankan left arm spin legend has
served his country great for many years and has bamboozled the batsmen
in all formats of the game with his variations. But he will be one of
the Cricketers to Retire after T20 World Cup 2016. He has officially
announced about his retirement after the World Cup and we wish him all
the best for his last tournament.
Shahid Afridi
Shahid Afridi is the great Pakistani
all-rounder who has served Pakistan for the last two decades. Fondly
known as Boom Boom Afridi, he is a great performer in the T20 format. He
retired from the One-Day cricket last year and has announced his
retirement from the T20 format as well.
Ross Taylor
Ross Taylor has been hitting those sixes
on the leg side and destroying bowling attacks since many years now.
But he now wants to focus on the other formats of the game and will
hence be one of the greatest players to retire from International
cricket in 2016.
MS Dhoni
Dhoni is the best Captain in the history
of Indian cricket and the best finisher whose skills are of unmatched
value in a T20 game. But he has always mentioned that he may not play
cricket for a long time and he proved it with his retirement from Test
Cricket. And if he takes India to glory and wins the T20 World Cup, then
we can expect him to be one of the players to Retire after 2016 T20
World Cup.
Harbhajan Singh
This great Indian spinner will be
turning 36 on July 3 and is one of the spinners leaving cricket after
ICC T20 world Cup 2016. He has 860+ wickets in Test and ODI career.
Imran Tahir
Tahir is one of the spinners to retire
from International cricket in 2016 after T20 World Cup. He will turn 37
on March 27 and has 120+ wickets in his short Test and ODI career.
Suleiman Benn
This West Indian spinner will celebrate
his 35 birthday on 22 July. He is one of the off spinners to retire in
2016. He has around 120 wickets in his short Test and ODI career.
Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka)
It might be a shock for cricket fans but
Lasith Malinga might join the list of players to Retire after 2016 T20
World Cup. Age is not an issue but Malinga has been prone to injuries.
That is the only reason that the Sri Lankan speed-machine might quit his
international career after the T20 World Cup that will take place in
India.
Misbah-ul-Haq (Pakistan)
The powerhouse of Pakistan’s batting
squad is Misbah-ul-Haq. He has improved as a cricketer over the years to
lead the Pakistan team to victory. The 40-year-old would surely retire
after the T20 World Cup 2016. He has been amazing as a captain and
batmen throughout his cricketing career.
