5 Players who might quit captaincy after T20 World Cup 2022

The T20 World Cup 2022 fever has already started with just few more weeks to go for the mega ICC event. The tournament will take place in Australia and it will become a big challenge for the visiting teams to adapt to the bounce. Fast bowlers will enjoy the tracks, which will make for a great battle between bat and ball. 

The boards have been announcing their 15-member squads for the ICC tournament lately and captaincy will be one of the key factors while naming the squads. A lot of changes have taken place since the previous edition of the T20 World Cup and it will be interesting to see how the new captains go about their business in the T20 World Cup 2022.  With all that said, it is time to look at -

5 players who might quit captaincy post T20 WC 2022 

1. Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma took up the full-time captaincy role for India across formats over a period of a couple of months after the T20 World Cup 2021, and he is yet to prove his leadership credentials in international cricket. However, he is 35 years at the moment, and the age factor might not be helpful for him to continue until the next T20 World Cup which is scheduled to take place in 2024, two years from now.  

Rohit also might consider retiring from the T20I format to prolong his international career and it is very important for him to manage his workload from here on. The right-hander is currently India’s best opener across formats and India will need to groom a captain if Rohit decides to retire from the T20I format.  

The upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 will provide all answers to the question mark over Rohit’s captaincy future and it won’t be a big surprise if Rohit decides to retire from T20Is after the ICC event since there is no major T20 tournament for the next two years.
