ODI World Cup 2023: Team-wise players who might not get a national call-up after the tournament

The ICC World Cup 2023 has reached its zenith with India qualifying for the final match to be played on Sunday in Ahmedabad. They had an excellent performance against New Zealand in the semi-final in Mumbai. India scored 397/4 in 50 overs and bundled Kiwis out for 327, winning the match by 70 runs.

Along with the World Cup coming to a possible exciting end, the careers of a few players are also expected to come to an end, given their age and form in the tournament. There are many players across all ten participating teams, that have been around for a long time and this tournament was supposed to be their final hurrah.

Also, with the teams focusing on T20 cricket after this ODI extravaganza with the T20 World Cup 2024 coming up, many players are not suited for the shortest format of the game. Some players are specifically included in their team’s squad for their speciality in the ODI format.

But with the tournament coming to an end, we look at one player each from 10 teams that may not be picked in the team going forward.

Here are the Team-wise players who might not get a national call-up after the Tournament:

1. Wesley Barresi – Netherlands

Wesley Barresi was the only Netherlands player from the 2011 World Cup squad to return to play in the 2023 World Cup. At 39 years of age, the keeper-batter was the most senior player in all of the tournament. He played only 4 matches in the tournament, scoring 83 runs with a best of 41. 

Barresi has played 49 ODIs in total, making 1276 runs with one century and 8 fifties to his name. Given that the Netherlands performed very well in the tournament with younger players doing good, Barresi might not find himself in the plans going forward.
