Likewise, Colin de Grand Homme, with long hair, was a legendary player. After participating in the IPL series, he has become a popular player among Indian fans.
Like other countries like India, New Zealand Cricket Board also keeps giving regular updates about their national players. It is also adopting different tactics to attract more fans. Similarly, on September 16 last year, Colin de Grand Homme also tweeted in a slightly different way.
Colin is dead?
At that time Colin de Grand Homme had shaved off his long head of hair. Wanting to post this in a different way and attract fans, the New Zealand Cricket Board posted, ‘Famous Colin de Grand Homme’s ‘mullet’ has disappeared” and attached a sad emoji. It is easy to read in Tamil. The New Zealand Board announced this in English as ‘The Famous Colin de Grandhome mullet is no more’.
Accumulated objections:
Many people ignore the word mullet (long hair) and ask, ‘What grand homme has disappeared?’ Misunderstood as, Grand Homme disappeared at this young age? They started posting as deep condolences. After some people took a closer look at the post and began to complain to the New Zealand Cricket Board, the New Zealand Cricket Board apologized for it.
Colin announced his retirement:
He has now announced his retirement from international cricket. He said that he is announcing his retirement because he is suffering from frequent injuries and the competition in the team is high. He also said that he wants to spend time with his family.
He participated in the final of the ODI World Cup held in 2019. He was also part of the New Zealand team that won the final of the World Test Championship series held in 2021.
He made his debut for the New Zealand team in 2012, but has only participated in 45 ODIs, 29 Tests and 41 T20Is so far due to frequent injuries.
He has scored 742 runs and 30 wickets in 45 ODIs and has 1432 runs and 49 wickets in 29 Tests. It is noteworthy that he has scored 505 runs and 12 wickets in 41 T20 matches.
