ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: 5 Players who might retire from ODIs after the tournament

4. Martin Guptill

This year's Cricket World Cup could be the last for New Zealand opener Martin Guptill. The long-term opener last appeared for the BlackCaps way back in 2022 against Australia. Since then, he hasn't featured in any games for NZ, though he's been among runs in professional matches. It would be a herculean task for him to replace any of  Finn Allen or Devon Conway at the top. 

The Auckland boy is known for consistent runs in ODI cricket where he played 198 matches scoring 7346 runs. His impact was top notch, he could single-handedly destroy the opponents. In 27 World Cup matches, he got close to 1000 runs which include 2 hundreds and 4 half-centuries. His most notable World Cup performance would be 237 in the quarter-final of the 2015 World Cup.

Last time, his team couldn't cross the final hurdle but this time they'll want to do better. He's an experienced cricketer and NZC can get him in the squad. His presentation in the dressing room will encourage the youngsters. A born fighter, Martin will be eyeing a seat on the flight to India.
