Former West Indies captain Ramdin retires from international cricket

Former West Indies captain, the wicketkeeper-batter Denesh Ramdin, has announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect.

"It is with great pleasure that I announce my retirement from international cricket," Ramdin, who last played for West Indies in a T20I in December 2019, said on Instagram. "The past 14 years have been a dream come true. I fulfilled my childhood dreams by playing cricket for Trinidad and Tobago, and the West Indies.

Seems like more than a coincidence that Ramdin and Simmons announced retirements in the same week, considering neither has played for WI in a while

Ravi Rampaul next?

The funniest thing about recent retirements is players like Lendl Simmons (1) and Denesh Ramdin (2) have won World Cups for West Indies.

Yet they are still regarded by an element of West Indies fanbase as if they achieved nothing meaningful in the game.
