West Indies T20I Captain Nicholas Goran surprised the world on Tuesday by announcing his retirement from international cricket at the age of 29.
The 29 -year -old, who recently dazzled the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Lucknow super veterans with explosive performance, described the description of retiring from the international circuit “difficult”.
“Cricket for the public, after a lot of thoughts and reflections, I have decided to declare my retirement from international cricket. This game that we have loved and he will continue to give a lot – happiness, purpose, unforgettable memories, and a chance to represent the people of the West Indies.”
A few days after Gorn’s decision, he requested the Cricket West Indies not to consider it for his ongoing white-ball tour of England. With more than eight months before the closure in India and Sri Lanka before the T20 World Cup 2026, Gorn’s decision serves as a massive blow for the 2016 winners.
Since the international scenario exploded in 2016, Gorn depicted in 106 T20I and 61 ODIs, scoring over 4,258 runs in both formats. He described 2,275 in the shortest format of cricket by 2,275 in the shortest format, 2,275 at 26.14 at 136.39. In 50 -over cricket, he maintained 1,983 runs with three centuries and 11 fifties, maintaining a strike rate of 99.15, while scored at 39.66.
“Thanks to your unwavering love for fans. You lifted me in difficult moments and celebrated good people with unmatched passion. My family, friends, and teammates – thanks me for walking this journey with me. Thank you. Your faith and support did me all this.” Bangladesh excluded the Caribbean veterans with a wide 80 -run win.
“Although this international chapter of my career stops, my love for West Indies cricket will never fade. I do not want the team and the region ahead anything other than success and power. All of my heart, with Nikki P,,” He concluded. (AI)
