IND vs SL: 3 Indian Players Who Can Retire From T20Is If Not Picked For The Series

3. Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is the first player on this list. Although Kuldeep Yadav is not a primary spin option for India, he often plays for the team in international series. Recently he picked 8 wickets in the Test match against Bangladesh and won the man of the match award.

The left-arm spinner last played a T20I game against West Indies in August 2022. He is often left out in the T20I series. If Yadav doesn’t get a chance against Sri Lanka, he might pull curtains on his T20I career and only focus on ODIs and Tests.

2. Ravichandran Ashwin

While Ravichandran Ashwin is not a regular member of India in T20Is, he often plays in crucial series in the shortest format. For instance, he was part of the Indian team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

However, post-India’s huge semi-final loss and exit from the tournament, Ashwin has not been picked in any T20I game. If he is snubbed in the IND vs SL T20I series, Ashwin will get a clear idea that he will not get further chances in T20Is. Hence, the right-arm spinner might retire from the shortest format.

1. Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik is another player who can retire from T20Is if he is not picked in the IND vs SL T20I series. Karthik was a regular member of the T20 side in 2022 and also played in ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

However, after his poor show in the tournament, he was snubbed from the national team. If the wicketkeeper-batsman is left-out for the IND vs SL T20I series, he might retire from T20Is as he can be sure of not getting any further chances in the T20I team.
