7 cricketers who could not make a comeback in international cricket: The world has seen cricket legends from every corner of the world, some names are embed in the book of history, some are carved in memory and some in the hearts of the cricket fan, who don’t depend on the records and figures to love a player, as some of them couldn’t be a part of the cricket world for a long span. Some heroes were short-lived and less celebrated. Cricketers who started off, had a on and off time in the team and left without being able to show their worth. Reasons are many and so are the fallen heroes, still they have a special place in the memory of times.

Here are 7 cricketers who could not make a comeback in international cricket:

1. Mohammad Kaif:

One of the best fielders of the Indian side, Kaif was capped after his performance in the U-19 World Cup, he captained the winning Indian U-19 side. Though, he was always sidelined by the selectors he got himself in, in 2001-2002, and came up with some purposeful batting specially in the Natwest series of 2002 where he played a knock of unbeaten 87 in England, when India successfully chased 326 runs. The 87 was followed by a century in the ICC Champions Trophy against Zimbabwe.

Though he failed to deliver during the World Cup and lost his place, and was unable to perform even in the domestic circuit. His exceptional fielding a cover overshadowed his batting form but couldn’t fetch him a permanent place in the Indian squad. Kaif, made a comeback in Test cricket after a year following his impressive performance in the county matches, as a replacement to Sachin Tendulkar who was injured in the second Test in Ahmedabad against South Africa.

Kaif was last seen in an International match back in 2006, a lost hero, Mohammad Kaif’s worth went unexploited in the cricket world.
