west indies cricket crisis darren sammy warning after nicolas pooran retirement

The West Indies cricket team has once again been upheaval in the cricket history. Team Castar batsman and wicketkeeper Nicholas Puran suddenly retired from international cricket at the age of 29. Puran has taken this decision just 8 months before the T20 World Cup 2026, which has surprised the fans and the team. Amidst all this, a big statement of the team’s head coach Darren Sammy has come out. Which has exposed the future challenges of West Indies cricket.

Darren Sammy said that Puran’s decision is just a beginning. He warned that in the coming time, more West Indies players can retire from international cricket suddenly. Sammy said during a conversation with ESPNcricinfo that, my conscience was saying that something like this was going to happen. I had already interacted with Puran and the agent and we had started the strategy of the team without them.

Sammy was definitely a emotional about Puran’s retirement, but he also accepted this decision from the commercial angle. He said that I would always like to keep a player like Puran in the team. But I cannot decide a player’s career. Puran congratulated the team, and we have also given him auspicious time for his future.

Darren Sammy has won the West Indies twice in 2012 and 2016. He said that in today’s time, players are leaving international cricket and have more inclination towards the franchise leagues and this is a very common thing. He believes that now T20 cricket has become so famous that players decide to retire from international cricket at the beginning of their career, I am confident that more West Indies players will do so in the coming days.
