Follow UsGetting retired out in a T20 International (T20I) is a rare feat, but in T20 leagues, it is gaining acceptance. However, Roston Chase, West Indies Test captain, had to bear the brunt of becoming the first full-member player to get retired out in a T20I.
The unwanted record was created during the third T20I between Pakistan and West Indies at Lauderhill, Florida on August 3 (Sunday). Coming to bat at number five with West Indies at 110/3, needing 80 off the last seven overs, Chase could score only 15 off the 12 balls that he faced.
More than the scoring, it was his inability to put the other batter on strike. Also, he had hit only two boundaries in the 12 balls that he faced, scoring seven off the remaining eight deliveries, putting a lot of pressure on Sherfane Rutherford at the other end.
After Chase was retired out at the end of 17 overs, West Indies needed 41 runs and could only get 27, losing the match by 13 runs at the end. This was not the first instance of getting retired out for the 33-year-old, as he had been retired out by his team Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in an ILT20 match.
Sonam Tobgay of Bhutan was the first player in the history of T20Is to get retired out.
