World Cup 2024: Sunil Narayan, who wreaked havoc with bat and ball for the team, has played an important role in the excellent performance of Kolkata Knight Riders in the 17th season of IPL. In the matches played so far, Sunil has scored 286 runs as an opening batsman for KKR in 7 matches at an average of 40.86. During this period, one century and one half-century have also come from his bat. After Sunil’s performance in the IPL, it was being said that he could return to the West Indies team for the upcoming T20 World Cup. But Sunil has completely put an end to these discussions with one of his social media posts.
Let us tell you that Sunil Narayan made it clear through a post from his Instagram account that he will not withdraw his decision of retirement. Sunil wrote- “I am really very happy and grateful that my recent performances have inspired many people to publicly express their desire for me to come back from retirement and play in the upcoming T20 World Cup.” Narayan insisted that he had accepted his decision and would support the team from home. “I have accepted that decision and although I don’t want to disappoint anyone, that door is now closed and I will be supporting the players who will be taking the field for the West Indies in June,” he said. The players have worked hard over the last few months and deserve to show our wonderful fans that they are capable of winning another title. I wish you all the best.”
Sunil Narayan has retired from international cricket
The 35-year-old Narayan, who played his last T20 international match for West Indies in 2019, retired from international cricket in November last year to focus on franchise T20 leagues around the world. However, seeing his excellent form with both bat and ball for Kolkata Knight Riders in the current season of IPL, West Indies captain Rovman Powell had requested him to come out of retirement and represent the team.
