The 20-20 World Cup is ongoing and the thrillers are already on as the tournament reached the Super 12 stage on October 22 with Australia and New Zealand facing off each other at Sydney.
There will also be many players who would be looking to end their careers on a high and retire after the T20I World Cup. Let’s look at three players who could say goodbye to the shortest format after the upcoming 20-20 World Cup in Australia.

Ravi Ashwin has been an innovator in the sport, not surprising as he holds an engineering degree to his name. The right-arm off-break bowler is one of the most street-smart cricketers out there. The Chennai-born single-handedly forced the cricketing world to accept Mankading as a legal and fair form of dismissal.
His days in the shortest format of the game however seem numbered as he has racked up only 5 wickets in the 9 matches that he has played this year. The Indian off-spinner made it to the Indian squad for the 20-20 World Cup 2022 and the purpose was solely to contain the run flow. However, Ashwin’s forte is Test cricket as the spinner has more than 400 wickets in the format and he could well bid goodbye to the shortest format after the conclusion of the showpiece event in Australia.
