Cricketers who might retire after 2023 ODI World Cup

9. Mohammed Shami (India)

Mohammed Shami has been on fire in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. Despite being rested for the first four matches by Indian team management in favour of team balance, Shami has picked up 14 wickets in 3 matches. Incredibly enough, during these three appearances, the ace pacer has two five-wicket hauls to his name. He played a huge role in India’s wins over New Zealand, England, and recently, Sri Lanka.

Despite playing his third ODI World Cup, Shami has only played 14 games in all and still managed to pick 45 wickets. In 97 ODIs since making his debut in 2013, he has picked 185 wickets with 4 fifers to his name and a hat-trick in World Cup 2019. But at the age of 33, and him being one of the key bowlers for India in Test matches, the management might not want him to play any more limited overs matches and strict himself to Test cricket and the IPL. Shami is also smart enough and with the ample pacers to choose from who are waiting in the wing, the Amroha Express might call it a day after the World Cup ends.
