West Indies star cricketer Nicolas Puran has retired from international cricket at the age of 29. He announced this through the Instagram post on Tuesday. Puran is the highest T20 player for the West Indies. Also, in this format, he has also scored the most runs for the West Indies. Puran announced retirement by writing a long note.
Puran’s international career
Puran played 61 ODIs and 106 T20 matches for the West Indies. In ODIs, he has 1983 runs at an average of 39.66 and 2275 runs in T20 at an average of 26.15 and a strike rate of 136.40. Puran scored three centuries and 11 half -centuries in ODIs. At the same time, he scored 13 half -centuries in T20. Puran never played a Test match for the West Indies. Puran has also taken six wickets in ODIs. However, he is a wicketkeeper batsman. Puran has also been the captain of the West Indies in the shortest format, but as a captain, he was removed from the captaincy by West Indies cricket after his poor record.
Why retirement?
Puran has not disclosed any reason in his note, but it is believed that he has taken this decision to play T20 league around the world. The history of West Indies cricketers has been similar. Former cricketers like Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Sunil Naren have also taken such decisions. He continued to play league from all over the world, but distanced himself from West Indies cricket. He was also screwed with the Central Contract with him. However, Puran’s decision is believed to be on the T20 League. He is currently one of the most explosive batsmen of T20 and any franchise is desperate to include him in his team. In such a situation, he can earn a lot of money by playing league throughout the year. Puran has already taken this decision when he has left an international match for a league.
