Top 11 Cricketers who announced comeback after retirement
Some of these cricketers were called back by the boards out of desperation to save their sinking ships.
8. Javagal Srinath
The Karnataka-born seamer is one of the greatest seamers to have ever played for India as he's the second-highest wicket-taker for the country in ODIs with 315 scalps to his name. Srinath was the leader of the Indian pace attack for several years as he picked up over 550 wickets in his international career. In 2002, he announced his sudden retirement from Tests following the end of the Caribbean tour.
However, the then-Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly convinced him to come out of retirement to play the home series against the Windies and lead the attack in the 2003 World Cup. Srinath couldn't say no to his captain and went on to stage a remarkable comeback in the marquee event. The right-arm seamer picked up 16 wickets from 11 matches at an average of 23.06 and an economy of 4.04. He finished as the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament for India and bid adieu to the game following India's heartbreaking loss in the final against Australia by 125 runs.
