Sunil Narine has firmly ruled out his comeback in international cricket despite enjoying a good run in IPL 2024.
The Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder is the team’s leading wicket-taker and run-scorer this season. The Trinidadian has picked 9 wickets and scored 286 runs, including a hundred. With Narine enjoying a sensational form with both bat and ball, there were speculations that Narine could be picked for West Indies squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
However Narine has firmly shut the doors of the possibility of his international return.
“I’m truly flattered and humbled that my performances recently have moved many people to publicly express their wish for me to come out of retirement and play in the upcoming T20 World Cup, I have made peace with that decision and whilst I never wish to disappoint, that door is now closed and I will be supporting the guys who take the field in June for West Indies. Guys who have worked hard over the past few months and deserve to show our wonderful fans that they are capable of winning another title. I wish you all the best,” he added. Narine, who has been a key member of KKR since 2012, is seventh on the list of leading run-scorers in the ongoing IPL season, having scored 286 runs, including an unbeaten century against Rajasthan Royals last week — his maiden T20 ton.” Narine wrote in a Instagram post.
