Rovman Powell on Sunil Narine: Sunil Narine, who is making waves in IPL 2024, may return to international cricket. Actually, after the match between Kolkata and Rajasthan, West Indies captain Rovman Powell has made a big revelation. Powell, who is playing for Rajasthan this season, has said that he has been convincing Sunil Narine for a long time to retire from international cricket.
After the win against Kolkata, Rovman Powell said that efforts are being made to convince in-form Sunil Narine to return from retirement for this year's T20 World Cup, but he has 'blocked' all those people. Has done (blocking the phone number) those who have tried to talk to him.
Narine, who will turn 36 next month, had retired from international cricket in November last year to focus on franchise T20 leagues around the world. Narine last played an international match for West Indies in August 2019. He is a specialist player in T20 format.
After chasing the record target of 224 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, Rovman Powell said, I have been whispering this in his ears for the last 12 months, he has blocked everyone. Asked (Kieron) Pollard, (Dwayne) Bravo, (Nicholas) Pooran, hopefully they will convince him before selecting the team.
Narine, an important member of Knight Riders since 2012, scored 109 runs in 56 balls on Tuesday, helping his team score 223 runs for six wickets. Narine is KKR's top spinner and also their highest run-scorer this season. He has seven wickets in his name with the ball and has given runs at an economy rate of 6.87 runs per over.
Powell said in the press conference, it was a very good innings to watch. Sunil has performed very well in the top order for Knight Riders this season. He is my West Indies teammate and hopefully he continues to do well. Being from the West Indies, it is always good to see our compatriots performing well in the IPL.
