IND vs SA: 3 Indian Players Who Can Retire From T20Is After The Series

India takes on South Africa in a five-match T20I series immediately after the end of IPL 2022. The series kicks off with the first T20I on June 9 in Delhi. The following four games will be held at Cuttack, Vishakhapatnam, Rajkot, and Bangalore on June 12, June 14, June 17, and June 19 respectively.

The series serves up as a dress rehearsal for the T20 World Cup later this year to be played in Australia. The players selected in this squad have a chance to perform to the best of their potential and make a case for themselves to be on that flight to Australia.

Meanwhile, there are a few players who are well past their prime and have been given a final opportunity in many ways to prove a point for the T20 World Cup. In this article, we take a look at three Indian players who can retire after the T20I series against South Africa.
