Quinton De Kock is another prominent international cricket player who will now be limited to Twenty20 matches. When the South African wicketkeeper-batter announced he was quitting ODI cricket at age 30, the cricket world was taken aback.

After 6770 runs in 155 ODIs, De Kock announces his retirement.

One well-known player who will no longer be seen in international cricket is veteran England fast bowler Stuart Broad. The right-arm pacer, who has taken over 600 wickets in Test matches, declared before of time that the Ashes 2023 series would be his final international match. At 37, Broad announced his retirement from international cricket. He and James Anderson formed a formidable fast-bowling combination.

Sunil Narine also announced his retirement from international cricket in 2023. Narine played 6 Tests, 65 ODIs and 51 T20Is in international cricket but left an indelible mark especially in limited-overs cricket.

This year, Alex Hales of England also declared his retirement from international cricket. Hales' final standout performance on the international front came in the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal match against India. After playing in 11 Test matches, 70 ODIs, and 75 T20Is, Hales announced his retirement.

In 2023, Meg Lanning, the well-known Australian cricket player, also said goodbye to international cricket. Over the course of her remarkable career, which spanned 241 matches, she won numerous ICC trophies. With more than 8,000 international runs under her belt when she retired, she established herself as a skilled white-ball cricket skipper.
