India-Zimbabwe: A 5 match T20 series is being played between India and Zimbabwe. All the senior players have been rested on this tour and India has sent a young team in their place. In such a situation, there is one player who can announce retirement from cricket.
Let us tell you that Indian fans are also going to be very sad with the retirement of this player, but still this series can prove to be the last for this player.
Actually, Zimbabwe's captain and veteran all-rounder Sikandar Raza can announce his retirement after this series. Raza is captaining the team in this series against India and now he can announce his retirement.
Raza is currently 38 years old and there is not much cricket left for him. Keeping his age in mind, Sikandar can say goodbye to cricket. However, there is no information about when he will take this decision but he can announce his retirement soon.
Let us tell you that a total of 20 teams participated in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 but Zimbabwe's name was not included in it and this was a surprising thing. Actually, two teams had to qualify from the Africa region of the T20 World Cup 2024 and qualifier matches were also played for this.
Namibia and Uganda qualified in the qualifiers and Zimbabwe could not qualify. This team played 6 matches and won 4 matches and finished third with 8 points. Raza was the captain of the team at that time too and now he is at that stage of his career from where he can announce retirement.
Actually, Raza is such a player who plays in leagues all over the world and in this episode, he was a part of the Punjab Kings team in IPL 2024. Due to playing in the IPL, he also has a lot of fans in India.
Not only this, Raza had once said that in terms of fans, IPL is better than all the leagues in the world.The 38-year-old had won the hearts of Indians by making such a statement and his fans are present in large numbers in India. In such a situation, if he announces retirement, then obviously the fans will be disappointed and they would like Raza not to leave cricket right now.
