The World Twenty20 opened on Tuesday starting with the preliminary phase. Here are five players considered likely to retire from international cricket after the tournament:
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (India)
Dhoni, then sporting long hair, entered Indian folklore when he captained the country to the inaugural World T20 title in 2007. Nine years later and if host India becomes the first country to lift the trophy for a second time, anticipation is high that 'Captain Cool' will decide the time is right to walk away from international cricket. The 34-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has already retired from Tests and despite remaining the brains behind India's on-field strategy, there is gathering evidence his best playing days are behind him.
