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.
4. Bhanuka Rajapaksa
The top-order batter of Sri Lanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, after making his international debut in 2019, abruptly decided to hand in his papers on January 3, 2022, to Sri Lanka Cricket citing "familial obligations" being the primary reason for the same. However, just after a week post his decision, he decided to withdraw his decision, further stating that he wished to represent his nation in the game he loves with all his heart "for years to come".
It was rumoured that the real reason for Rajapaksa's resignation was prompted by the fresh set of tougher requirements related to fitness and fielding due to which he had already had a fallout with the then-head coach of Sri Lanka, Mickey Arthur.
It was Rajapaksa's retirement from the game that fuelled a stricter batch of guidelines revolving around the players wanting to retire from international cricket as a whole.
