NEW DELHI, Apr 17 (AFP): West Indies skipper Rovman Powell is trying to convince fellow IPL star Sunil Narine to come out of international retirement for their home T20 World Cup.
All-rounder Narine smashed his first T20 century on Tuesday and took two wickets for Kolkata Knight Riders as they went down to Rajasthan Royals.
The 35-year-old announced his international retirement in 2023, four years after he last played a T20 for the West Indies.
But with the World Cup in June hosted by the West Indies, together with the United States, Powell hopes his countryman will have a change of heart.
"For the last 12 months I've been whispering in his ears, he's blocked out everyone," Powell, who plays for Rajasthan, said.
