The ICC World Cup 2023 came to a glittering end in Ahmedabad on November 19, 2023, as Australia became the new World Champions, lifting the CWC trophy for the sixth time. They defeated hot favourites and hosts India in a lop-sided final at the Narendra Modi stadium by six wickets to become champions.
It was a World Cup tournament filled with excitement and rich performances from players of all 10 teams. Some excelled with the bat, some with the ball, and a handful with both. But on the flipside, some players couldn’t step up when needed and their future in their national teams might be in danger.
Therefore, we take a look at one player from each participating team in the World Cup 2023, who might face the axe post the tournament.
Here are the Team-wise players who might face the axe after the ODI World Cup 2023:
1. AFG- Mohammad Nabi
Mohammad Nabi is a bonafide legend of Afghanistan cricket. The 38-year-old has a brilliant record in international cricket and this was perhaps his final bow on the world stage in the ODI format. He managed 55 runs in 9 matches and picked 8 wickets for Afghanistan. He helped put pressure on Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan to do their jobs. But given his age, Afghanistan might want to move on from ODIs.
