Cricket World Cup 2023: 10 Players who might retire from ODIs after the tournament
The ICC 50-overs World Cup is scheduled to be played in India, later in 2023
6. Mushfiqur Rahim (BAN):
Mushfiqur Rahim is another player who might retire after the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Although age-wise, Rahim could push for a few more years, he is unlikely to do that in order to make way for his successor and give him sufficient time to cement himself behind the stumps, before the 2027 World Cup. Anyone who replaces him must have a few years of experience behind the stumps to do really well in an ICC event.
Having got noticed in the 2007 World Cup, Rahim has been one of Bangladesh's best batsmen over the years. In 2023, he will also have a good chance to take Bangladesh into the knockout stage and finish his long career on a sweet note. He has been Bangladesh's main batter and one of the best wicket-keepers Bangladesh has been able to produce in its cricket history.
Finding a good raplacement for Rahim might be tough, because the 35-year-old has been Bangladesh's main man in major ICC events and has even captained the national side. Also, Rahim would personally want to end on a fairytale note by qualifying beyond the quarter-finals, something the Tigers have never been able to accomplish.
