The IND vs ENG series kick starts with the one-off Test match in Birmingham from July 1. The Test match is followed by a three-match T20I and ODI series starting with the T20Is from July 7. Ahead of the England series, India will play a five-match T20I series against South Africa, the squad for which is already announced.

The IND vs ENG T20I series will present a different kind of opportunity for the players. The board is expected to announce an almost similar side that they announced for the South Africa T20Is in due course. These two series will be important for the players to perform if they want to be a part of India’s T20 World Cup squad.

Meanwhile, a few veteran Indian players might not even be picked in that squad that will travel to England. Given that it is T20 cricket, the board would ideally want to select a young squad. In this article, we take a look at three players who can retire from T20Is after the England series by virtue of not being picked in the side.

The veteran Indian player had another 400-plus season in the IPL. He eventually ended up scoring 460-runs from 14 games and was consistent for the Punjab Kings. However, he might not be picked in the side against England given that India have a plethora of young batsmen to choose from.

Kaul is another experienced Indian bowler who has not played international cricket since 2019. He last played T20I cricket for India in 2019. A bowler of Kaul’s promise has played just three ODIs and as many T20Is. The better bowlers in the Indian side has consistently kept him out of the squad. He can very well consider taking his T20I retirement if he is not picked against England.

Varun Chakravarthy is the third and the last player who can think of retiring from T20I cricket if he is not selected in the Indian squad for the series against England, He has an IPL 2022 to forget. He is not the fittest of players on the field and cannot bat. He is a very one-dimensional cricket and he is not going through a good run of form. All these factors might well be thought about before Varun is picked again in the Indian side.
