World Cup cricket is surely one of the biggest events in Cricket. It happens once in four years and many players don’t even get to play more than one or two World Cup tournaments no matter how good are they. And as a matter of fact, the ICC World Cup, 2015 is going to be the last World Cup for some of the greats of the game. Now let us have a glimpse of the top 5players who will be playing their last Cricket World Cup this year. Some of them are likely.
- Shahid Afridi (Pakistan): Well for no surprise, it will perhaps be the last World Cup tournament for Boom Boom man. He announced it officially that he will retire from ODI cricket soon after the World Cup is over. So, it will be his last World Cup and surely he will try to make his mark in it. He has been one of the most destructive batsmen of Pakistan and also a great spin bowler. He will try to make this World Cup a memorable one for him and his team.
- Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka): The Sri Lankan left handed batsman will play his last World Cup this year. He had an immense contribution in Sri Lanka’s rapid success in the last two World Cup tournaments. On both the occasions, Sri Lanka were the runners up. Unfortunately, he has not been able to be on the winnings side any time.
- Misbah Ul Haq (Pakistan): The veteran Pakistani batsman will play his last World Cup this year. He has been a dependable batsman for them and he was also a member of the Pakistani team when they were the semi finalists in the last World Cup. Surely, he will provide his best in this World Cup.
- Michael Clarke (Australia): The Australian captain has been suffering from injuries of late and also he might not play the opening game for Australia in this World Cup. He has been involved with the Australian squad in their triumphant march in the 2007 World Cup. Also, he was in the 2011 World Cup. And since this World Cup will be played on Australia-New Zealand, so he will try to make this World Cup count.
- MS Dhoni (India): This is not a sure thing though. The Indian captain has recently retired from Test cricket and might well retire from ODIs when he feels that he is done. So, it can be predicted to an extent that this might perhaps be his last World Cup. He has won India a cup in 2011 and it will be seen whether India manages to retain the trophy this time under his leadership.
