After scoring a storming century for Kolkata Knight Riders, the issue came into discussion. Sunil Narine’s return to the national team ahead of the T20 World Cup. At that time, many people became quite optimistic. But on Tuesday, the star all-rounder said that the door to his return to the national team is now closed.
In a message on social media, he wrote about this, ‘I hope you are well and in good health while writing this message. I am really happy and humbled to say that my recent performances have inspired many people to express their desire to come out of retirement and play in the upcoming T20 World Cup.’
‘I have made peace with this decision and I never want to be disappointed. But that door is now closed. I will support the boys who will play for the West Indies in June. Guys who have worked hard over the past few months and deserve to show our fans that they are capable of winning another title. I wish them all the best.’ He added.
Narine has played 169 matches and taken 172 wickets in IPL so far. Average 25.59 and strike rate 22.75. Best bowling figure is 5 wickets for 19 runs.
