Know here about those players, who can take retirement in the year 2026 after Usman Khawaja.

mohammed nabi

Afghanistan’s legendary cricketer Mohammad Nabi could be the next cricketer to retire. Nabi retired from Test cricket in 2019 itself. Nabi had described the 2023 ODI World Cup as his last tournament, but later revealed that he will continue playing. He had also said that after the Champions Trophy 2025, he can continue playing international cricket for one more year. It is possible that T20 World Cup 2026 could be his last tournament.

shakib al hassan

Bangladesh’s 38-year-old veteran cricketer Shakib Al Hasan had announced his retirement from Test and T20 cricket some time ago, but later withdrew his retirement. Shakib has not played any international cricket match for Bangladesh since October 2024. The possibility of Shakib, who is constantly out of the team, retiring this year seems very high.

Yuzvendra Chahal

35 year old Yuzvendra Chahal has been out of Team India for a long time. He played his last international match for Team India in August 2023. Chahal is playing IPL, domestic and county cricket regularly, but at present his name is nowhere to be seen in the future plans of Team India. Spinners like Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel and Varun Chakraborty have cemented their place in the Indian team. With him, Chahal’s return to the team is looking very difficult.
