These 5 star players can say goodbye to international cricket in the year 2026, there is more than one player in the list

The whole world is about to enter the new year. The year 2025 was very good in terms of cricket. Players made a lot of noise in the Champions Trophy, Asia Cup and Women’s ODI World Cup, but many legends said goodbye to international cricket in the year 2025. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from Test. Now the process of saying goodbye to cricket will continue in 2026 also. These 5 star players of the world can also retire.

Suryakumar Yadav

Indian star batsman Suryakumar Yadav made his international debut in the year 2021. After a few years, he was made the captain of the Indian T20 team. Now he will be seen captaining Team India in the T20 World Cup 2026, but Surya’s poor form is also a tension for Team India at this time. If Surya is not able to score runs with the bat in the T20 World Cup, then his career may come to an end. Suryakumar Yadav has scored only 244 runs in the last 25 T20 matches. He scored his last half-century in the year 2024.

glen maxwell

Australia’s explosive batsman Glenn Maxwell has taken retirement from ODI cricket. He does not even play Test matches, now he is seen playing only T20 matches.

david miller

The form of South African star batsman David Miller is no longer the same as before. He has been playing international matches since 2010. David Miller’s dream of making South Africa champion in the 2024 T20 World Cup final remained unfulfilled. Now he would like to complete it in 2026. However, 2026 may be the last year of his career.

Mohammed Nabi

Afghanistan’s star all-rounder Mohammad Nabi has been playing international cricket for a long time. He retired from ODI cricket after Champions Trophy 2025. He had said that after this he would probably play international cricket for one more year. In such a situation, he can say goodbye to international cricket after T20 World Cup 2026.
