T20 sensation Sunil Narine will not be playing for the West Indies in the upcoming International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup to be held in the Caribbean and the United States in June.
He has been in fine form for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and even scored his first T20 century last week.
But in a statement on Monday, Narine said, “I’m truly flattered and humbled that my performances recently have moved many people to publicly express their wish for me to come out of retirement and play in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
“I have made peace with that decision and whilst I never wish to disappoint, that door is now closed and I will be supporting the guys who take the field in June for West Indies.
“Guys who have worked hard for the past few months and deserve to show our wonderful fans that they are capable of winning another title – I wish you all the best.”
Narine retired from international cricket in November last year.
