10 cricketers who will be playing their last ODI World Cup in 2015

The 2011 edition of the World Cup, held in the Indian subcontinent, proved to be the last for many great players including the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Muttiah Muralitharan. Here is a look at 10 international cricketers who are most likely to retire from ODIs following the 2015 World Cup to be held in Australia and New Zealand starting February 14. 

#10 Tillakaratne Dilshan

Sri Lankan opener Tillakaratne Dilshan has become one of the nation’s key players ever since he started opening the innings. The 38-year-old right-hander has played exactly 300 ODIs for his country, scoring 9004 runs at an average of 38.31 with a best of 160 not out. 

Dilshan has scored 717 runs in 20 World Cup encounters with a highest score of 144, but despite the numbers, he has been on the losing side in the finals of both the 2007 and the 2011 editions of the mega event.

This has to be his last appearance in a 50-over World Cup, and he would hope to finish off on a high by helping his side lift the crown on March 29 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
