ICC World Cup 2023 will also decide the fate of many senior Indian players. If they are not picked in the tournament, they can be sure that they won’t get more opportunities in the 50-over format. Hence, they might retire from ODIs if not picked up in the tournament. In this article, we discuss about 5 Indian players who can retire from ODIs after ICC World Cup 2023.

ICC World Cup 2023: 3 Indian Players Who Can Retire From ODIs After The Tournament

3. Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik is the first player on this list. Although Karthik has not played any ODI game since the last ODI World Cup, he is yet to announce his retirement from any format. Karthik had a horrible performance in 2019 when he last played ODIs for Team India.

He scored just 89 runs across 6 innings. Later, he was snubbed from the ODI format. Later, Rishabh Pant grabbed the post of wicketkeeper for the Indian team. Karthik played in ICC T20 World Cup last year. However, he got out for single digits in all the matches he played.

Selectors have snubbed him from the ODI format and has no chance of making a comeback to the national team. The 38-year-old is already in the last phase of his international career. After ICC World Cup 2023, it will be a good time for Karthik to announce his retirement.

2. Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin is another player on this list. Ravichandran Ashwin has been a regular member of Tests for the last few years. However, the right-arm spinner does not get equal opportunities in ODIs and Tests.

For instance, Ashwin has not played a single ODI or T20I since the start of this year. The 36-year-old made a cameo last year in a series against South Africa. However, he could only get 1 wicket across 2 games.

Missing all the ODI games this year, Ashwin is almost certain to miss out on selection in ICC World Cup 2023. As a result, he might sign off from ODIs and only concentrate on Tests, where he rules like a lion as a spinner.

1. Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan is another player whose ODI career seems like a dead end. The left-handed batter was a permanent opener for Team India in ODIs for the last few years. However, since the start of 2023, the 37-year-old has not played any ODI game for India.

Shubman Gill has stolen Dhawan’s slot as an opener. With 3 centuries in ODIs this year, Gill has proved that he is a dominant opener for Team India currently. As a result, Dhawan has no chance of getting a place in the ICC Cricket World Cup. Hence, he might pull the curtains down on his career after the tournament.
