Enigmatic West Indies all-rounder Carl Hooper has stunningly
announced his retirement from international cricket, only three
weeks before the World Cup starts.
The Guyana-born 32-year-old all-rounder missed the opening two
Tests of the recent four-match series against Australia because
he was in Australia with his wife and newly-born son, who was
ill.
He returned to the Caribbean for the final two Tests and
confirmed he wanted to play in the World Cup, but appeared to be
lacking fitness and commitment and produced a series of mediocre
displays on his return.
His returns since then:
Third Test
Batting: 25 and 6
Bowling: 15.4-4-50-2
Fourth Test
Batting: 47, 12
Bowling:
10-1-34-0,
30.4-7-69-3
One-Day Internationals
Second: 17; 10-0-66-2
Third: 56; 9-0-47-0
Fourth: 23; 10-0-29-0
Fifth: 8; 6-0-48-1
Sixth: 8; 8-0-37-0
