But owing to his sensational form with both bat and ball for Kolkata Knight Riders, attempts were being made to convince Narine to reverse his decision for the T20 World Cup. “I’m truly flattered and humbled that my performances recently have moved many people to publicly express their wish for me to come out of retirement and play in the upcoming T20 World Cup,” Narine wrote in Instagram post.
