Nicholas Pooran's shock retirement:
Earlier this month, Nicholas Pooran stunned the cricketing world by announcing his retirement from international cricket at the age of just 29. The decision came just days after he opted out of the West Indies' squad for the T20I series against England.
"Wearing that maroon, standing for the anthem, and giving everything I had each time I stepped on the field... it's hard to put into words what that truly means to me. To have led the team as captain is a privilege I will always hold close to my heart," Nicholas Pooran wrote on social media.
The wicketkeeper-batsman made his debut for the West Indies in 2016 and represented the team in 61 ODIs and 106 T20Is. He scored 1983 runs in the 50-over format and 2275 runs in T20Is. Pooran hit 3 centuries and 24 half-centuries in international cricket.
