Cricketers who turned commentators after 2019 ICC ODI World Cup

Legendary players such as Sunil Gavaskar, Ian Chappell, Ravi Shastri, and Wasim Akram donned the role of commentators after bringing down curtains on their international careers. After doing great as players, these icons performed excellently in their new roles as well. Following the footsteps of these legends, some cricketers who retired after the 2019 World Cup started their new innings in this sport as commentators.

While serving their teams on the field, these players earned a lot of supporters who wanted to see their engagement with the sport after their retirement as well. Watching these players in the commentary box has been fun thus far as they have strived to make the sport more exciting with their impressive commentary. 

Talking more, here are the six cricketers who became commentators following the 2019 World Cup

6. Carlos Brathwaite

Carlos Brathwaite came into the limelight after hitting four maximums against England in the 2016 T20 World Cup and winning the distinguished trophy for his team. Brathwaite was a crucial member of the West Indies team in the 2019 World Cup as well. Playing eight games in the competition, he racked up 154 runs and nine wickets for his side. 

In the intriguing match against New Zealand, he scored a ton and took his team close to the target of 292. After the World Cup in England, Brathwaite played T20 International (T20I) and One-Day International (ODI) series against India but he failed to be effective and got dropped from the side.

The talented all-rounder became a member of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 commentary panel. During the 2023 World Cup Qualifiers, he grabbed a lot of eyeballs after the West Indies’ loss at the hands of the Netherlands in the competition, Brathwaite’s stunned reaction inside the commentary box went viral on social media sites.
