After the 2024 T20 World Cup, legends such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and David Warner announced their retirements. Amidst this, there were also a few other players who bid adieu from the game or any one format. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players you might not know who retired after the 2024 T20 World Cup.
1) Mahmudullah
A long servant of Bangladesh cricket, the all-rounder announced his retirement from all formats of the game. Qualifying for the Super 8 stage was a decent result for the squad. However, Bangladesh could have done better in the tournament.
For Mahmudullah, he was a part of the squad for a very long time. He was even a captain of the side for a while. His services will be missed by Bangladesh cricket.
2) David Wiese
David Wiese is one of the players you might not know who retired after the 2024 T20 World Cup. The Namibia veteran played for South Africa at the start of his career.
He is one of the main reasons for Namibia’s rise at the international level. The all-rounder was very consistent for the side. Namibia will hope to bring him back in a coaching role soon so that the team can grow further.
3) Sybrand Engelbrecht
Sybrand Engelbrecht is also one of the players you might not know who retired after the 2024 T20 World Cup. At the age of 35, after playing in 12 ODIs and 12 T20Is, the veteran announced his retirement from all forms of the game.
Hailing from South Africa, it was a stop-and-start career for him. There was a time when he took a break from professional cricket, as well. However, he made a strong return, playing in the 2023 ODI World Cup and also in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The batter’s absence is a big blow for the Dutch squad.
