After the World T20 2016, the following edition of the World T20 will only be played in 2020, keeping in line the tradition of World Cups. With a sufficient number of players in the side well above the age of 30 and others running helter-skelter for form, we may well see a chunk of these players suffer from form in the months to come. That said, here is a list of 10 players who may well be playing their final World T20 for their country.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/02/Mashrafe-Bin-Mortaza.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-55352"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-55352" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mashrafe-Bin-Mortaza.jpg" alt="Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza" width="640" height="426" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-55352" class="wp-caption-text">Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza. (Photo by MUNIR UZ ZAMAN/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Mashrafe Mortaza was perhaps the obvious choice for Bangladeshi captaincy following the failures of Mohammad Ashraful and Shakib Al Hasan. Mortaza has led Bangladesh into the light of day, where they have become a certain force to reckon with. However, it seems as though age has caught up with him as he went on to state that he would take a call on his career at the conclusion of the World T20 2016. At the age of 32, Mortaza has played 160 and 46 T20Is, a complete career one may assume.<br>

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/03/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-58055"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-58055 size-full" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni.jpg" alt="India" width="640" height="467" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-58055" class="wp-caption-text">India&#8217;s captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. (Photo by PUNIT PARANJPE/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption>

MS Dhoni has done Sourav Ganguly could never do. He has scaled heights no other Indian skipper has accomplished. With pride bursting out of the MS Dhoni trophy cabinet, one can certainly assume that there isn’t much left for MS Dhoni to achieve. However, the 34-year old has underlined time and again his importance in the side. However, with the next World T20 4 years away, it would seem as though MS Dhoni may well call time on his career much earlier.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/02/Yuvraj-Singh-vs-Australia-Rajkot.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-56524"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-56524" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singh-vs-Australia-Rajkot.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh" width="612" height="376" sizes="(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-56524" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

Not many gave Yuvraj Singh a chance at selection at the start of the World T20. However, he surprised one and all by making it back to the side. He repaid the faith the selectors put in him with an impressive performance in the final few games of the Asia Cup T20. With fitness and age not on his side, Yuvraj Singh’s participation in the following World T20 in Australia seems to be highly unlikely.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/02/Shane-Watson-1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-55659"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-55659" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Shane-Watson-1.jpg" alt="Shane Watson" width="640" height="426" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-55659" class="wp-caption-text">Australia&#8217;s Shane Watson. (Photo by ROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Shane Watson had contemplated retirement ever since he was dropped from the Indian side. Watson has been a mainstay in the Australian side ever since his inception in the side in 2004. He has also captained the side on few occasions and was the highest bid in the IPL auction as he picked up by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Watson seems to be at the twilight of his career and similar to Yuvraj Singh, Watson’s participation in the following World T20 seems unlikely.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/03/Chris-Gayle-3.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-58661"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-58661" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Chris-Gayle-3.jpg" alt="Chris Gayle" width="600" height="436" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-58661" class="wp-caption-text">Chris Gayle of the West Indies.

At 36, it seems as though <strong><a href="http://www.crictracker.com/fake-fb-wall-ravichandran-ashwin-tries-to-troll-chris-gayle-but-gets-trolled-back/" target="_blank">Chris Gayle</a></strong> can do no wrong when it comes to T20 cricket. Long arms, a massive frame and a huge bat, Chris Gayle is a brutal smasher of the cricket ball. Although he would love to keep going on, age is catching up with the Jamaican as he seems to be moving toward the end of his career. Gayle has two centuries and the most number of sixes to his name in T20 international.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/03/Samuel-Badree.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-58033"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-58033" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Samuel-Badree.jpg" alt="Dwayne Bravo" width="600" height="422" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-58033" class="wp-caption-text">West Indies bowler Samuel Badree (L) celebrates with teammate Dwayne Bravo.  (Photo by PUNIT PARANJPE/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption>

33-year old Samuel Badree is a late blossomer. Having started his career in 2000/01, Badree has risen to prominence only now. He has also entered the tournament as the number one bowler in the world. His ability to spin the ball the way he can is something of a miracle while he has proved to be a good replacement for Sunil Narine. He is perhaps the only person on this list who has a remote chance of featuring in the 2020 edition of the World T20.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/03/Captain-Shahid-Afridi.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-58608"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-58608" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Captain-Shahid-Afridi.jpg" alt="Shahid Afridi World T20" width="600" height="383" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-58608" class="wp-caption-text">Shahid Afridi of Pakistan. (Photo by Vivek Prakash-IDI/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Although the Pakistani skipper has flirted with retirement for the last few years, his innings against Bangladesh in the ongoing World T20 highlighted the genius of the man. That performance, as many say, has probably saved the career of Shahid Afridi as we know it. At 35 and seemingly pressurized into retirement, Afridi’s international career however, seems to be well and truly over.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/08/Lasith-Malinga-gestures-during-a-practice-session-GettyImages-482236006.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-30052"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-30052" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Lasith-Malinga-gestures-during-a-practice-session-GettyImages-482236006.jpg" alt="Lasith Malinga" width="594" height="359" sizes="(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-30052" class="wp-caption-text">Lasith Malinga. (© Ishara S.KODIKARA/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Lasith Malinga went down in the history books of Sri Lankan cricket after guiding the Island nation to their first World Cup win since 1996. However, while his recent form may be extraordinary, Malinga has been at the receiving end of injuries right through his career. The niggles in his knee have seen him step down from captaincy. It is widely expected that he will be forced to call time on his career as soon as the following year.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/12/Dale-Steyn-of-South-Africa-GettyImages-480302047.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-48339"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-48339" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Dale-Steyn-of-South-Africa-GettyImages-480302047.jpg" alt="Dale Steyn Bowlers" width="600" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-48339" class="wp-caption-text">Dale Steyn of South Africa.

South African bowler <strong><a href="http://www.crictracker.com/watch-dale-steyn-dives-in-to-meet-the-great-white-shark/" target="_blank">Dale Steyn</a></strong> is perhaps the only South African who features on this list. A long-term injury saw Steyn lose his place in the side. Despite the fact that he has been included in the side once again for the World T20, Steyn is not the same fiery pacer of yesteryear. Steyn has been quizzed about his retirement in the early part of the year, something he didn’t take to very well.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/09/Nathan-McCullum-of-New-Zealand-during-the-1st-KFC-GettyImages-484031104.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-30528"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-30528" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Nathan-McCullum-of-New-Zealand-during-the-1st-KFC-GettyImages-484031104.jpg" alt="Nathan McCullum" width="594" height="386" sizes="(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-30528" class="wp-caption-text">Nathan McCullum.

Nathan McCullum was brought into the New Zealand side on the perusal that this would be his final piece of the action in a New Zealand shirt. With his younger brother announcing his retirement earlier this year, Nathan McCullum will be looking to go out of the sport on a high, with the World T20 title in his arms perhaps.

<figure id="attachment_56524" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-56524" style="width: 612px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/02/Yuvraj-Singh-vs-Australia-Rajkot.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-56524"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-56524" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singh-vs-Australia-Rajkot.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh" width="612" height="376" sizes="(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-56524" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh.

<p>Not many gave Yuvraj Singh a chance at selection at the start of the World T20. However, he surprised one and all by making it back to the side. He repaid the faith the selectors put in him with an impressive performance in the final few games of the Asia Cup T20. With fitness and age not on his side, Yuvraj Singh’s participation in the following World T20 in Australia seems to be highly unlikely.</p>
<h4><strong>4. Shane Watson</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_55659" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-55659" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/02/Shane-Watson-1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-55659"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-55659" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Shane-Watson-1.jpg" alt="Shane Watson" width="640" height="426" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-55659" class="wp-caption-text">Australia&#8217;s Shane Watson.

<p>Shane Watson had contemplated retirement ever since he was dropped from the Indian side. Watson has been a mainstay in the Australian side ever since his inception in the side in 2004. He has also captained the side on few occasions and was the highest bid in the IPL auction as he picked up by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Watson seems to be at the twilight of his career and similar to Yuvraj Singh, Watson’s participation in the following World T20 seems unlikely.</p>
<h4><strong>5. Chris Gayle</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_58661" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-58661" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/03/Chris-Gayle-3.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-58661"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-58661" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Chris-Gayle-3.jpg" alt="Chris Gayle" width="600" height="436" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-58661" class="wp-caption-text">Chris Gayle of the West Indies.

<p>At 36, it seems as though <strong><a href="http://www.crictracker.com/fake-fb-wall-ravichandran-ashwin-tries-to-troll-chris-gayle-but-gets-trolled-back/" target="_blank">Chris Gayle</a></strong> can do no wrong when it comes to T20 cricket. Long arms, a massive frame and a huge bat, Chris Gayle is a brutal smasher of the cricket ball. Although he would love to keep going on, age is catching up with the Jamaican as he seems to be moving toward the end of his career. Gayle has two centuries and the most number of sixes to his name in T20 international.</p>
<h4><strong>6. Samuel Badree</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_58033" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-58033" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/03/Samuel-Badree.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-58033"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-58033" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Samuel-Badree.jpg" alt="Dwayne Bravo" width="600" height="422" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-58033" class="wp-caption-text">West Indies bowler Samuel Badree (L) celebrates with teammate Dwayne Bravo.  (Photo by PUNIT PARANJPE/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<p>33-year old Samuel Badree is a late blossomer. Having started his career in 2000/01, Badree has risen to prominence only now. He has also entered the tournament as the number one bowler in the world. His ability to spin the ball the way he can is something of a miracle while he has proved to be a good replacement for Sunil Narine. He is perhaps the only person on this list who has a remote chance of featuring in the 2020 edition of the World T20.</p>
<h4><strong>7. Shahid Afridi</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_58608" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-58608" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/03/Captain-Shahid-Afridi.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-58608"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-58608" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Captain-Shahid-Afridi.jpg" alt="Shahid Afridi World T20" width="600" height="383" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-58608" class="wp-caption-text">Shahid Afridi of Pakistan. (Photo by Vivek Prakash-IDI/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Although the Pakistani skipper has flirted with retirement for the last few years, his innings against Bangladesh in the ongoing World T20 highlighted the genius of the man. That performance, as many say, has probably saved the career of Shahid Afridi as we know it. At 35 and seemingly pressurized into retirement, Afridi’s international career however, seems to be well and truly over.</p>
<h4><strong>8. Lasith Malinga</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_30052" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-30052" style="width: 594px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/08/Lasith-Malinga-gestures-during-a-practice-session-GettyImages-482236006.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-30052"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-30052" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Lasith-Malinga-gestures-during-a-practice-session-GettyImages-482236006.jpg" alt="Lasith Malinga" width="594" height="359" sizes="(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-30052" class="wp-caption-text">Lasith Malinga. (© Ishara S.KODIKARA/AFP/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Lasith Malinga went down in the history books of Sri Lankan cricket after guiding the Island nation to their first World Cup win since 1996. However, while his recent form may be extraordinary, Malinga has been at the receiving end of injuries right through his career. The niggles in his knee have seen him step down from captaincy. It is widely expected that he will be forced to call time on his career as soon as the following year.</p>
<h4><strong>9. Dale Steyn</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_48339" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-48339" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/12/Dale-Steyn-of-South-Africa-GettyImages-480302047.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-48339"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-48339" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Dale-Steyn-of-South-Africa-GettyImages-480302047.jpg" alt="Dale Steyn Bowlers" width="600" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-48339" class="wp-caption-text">Dale Steyn of South Africa. (Photo by Graham Crouch-IDI/IDI via Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<p>South African bowler <strong><a href="http://www.crictracker.com/watch-dale-steyn-dives-in-to-meet-the-great-white-shark/" target="_blank">Dale Steyn</a></strong> is perhaps the only South African who features on this list. A long-term injury saw Steyn lose his place in the side. Despite the fact that he has been included in the side once again for the World T20, Steyn is not the same fiery pacer of yesteryear. Steyn has been quizzed about his retirement in the early part of the year, something he didn’t take to very well.</p>
<h4><strong>10. Nathan McCullum</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_30528" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-30528" style="width: 594px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/09/Nathan-McCullum-of-New-Zealand-during-the-1st-KFC-GettyImages-484031104.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-30528"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-30528" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Nathan-McCullum-of-New-Zealand-during-the-1st-KFC-GettyImages-484031104.jpg" alt="Nathan McCullum" width="594" height="386" sizes="(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-30528" class="wp-caption-text">Nathan McCullum. (© Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Nathan McCullum was brought into the New Zealand side on the perusal that this would be his final piece of the action in a New Zealand shirt. With his younger brother announcing his retirement earlier this year, Nathan McCullum will be looking to go out of the sport on a high, with the World T20 title in his arms perhaps.</p>

Top 10 players who might be playing their final World T20

After the World T20 2016, the following edition of the World T20 will only be played in 2020, keeping in line the tradition of World Cups. With a sufficient
