Following an extraordinary display of batting prowess by Sunil Narine, scoring his maiden T20 century with 109 runs for Kolkata Knight Riders, West Indies T20 captain Rovman Powell is making a compelling case for Narine to come out of retirement and represent the West Indies in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

The World T20 is scheduled from June 1-29 in the  Caribbean and the United States of America.

Powell’s Rajasthan Royals clinched a thrilling victory over Narine’s Kolkata Knight Riders by two wickets at Eden Gardens on Tuesday, but it was Narine’s exceptional century that captured attention and reignited discussions about his international comeback.

Just days ago, Narine had been adamant about watching the T20 World Cup from home after announcing his retirement from international cricket in November 2023.

However, his post-match remarks on Tuesday hinted at a potential change of heart.

“It is what it is, but let’s see what the future holds,” Narine stated when asked about reconsidering his retirement decision after his stellar performance.

In fact, West Indies captain Rovman Powell, who was in the opposition camp on Tuesday (April 16), revealed later that he's been trying to get Narine to come out of international retirement.

"For the last 12 months, I have been whispering in his ears," Powell said of Narine, "but he's blocked out everyone."

"I've asked [Kieron] Pollard, [Dwayne] Bravo, [Nicholas] Pooran. Hopefully, before they select the team, they can crack his skull."
