Representing the country in international cricket is what every aspiring cricketer nourishes within him. Although, it is not possible for each and every player to fulfill this dream up to reality. An individual is supposed to perform constantly well in domestic cricket to break into the national squad.

On the other hand, there have been cases when a few cricketers had a very illustrious start to their career but later on, they faded away in the long run. Unfortunately, they dropped out of the national team of their respective countries. So, here we’ll have a look at four players who made this list of setbacks in their careers.
Rob Nicol, New Zealand
The Auckland-born right-handed opening batter Rob Nicol made his first appearance for the Kiwi team 11 years back in the year 2011. In his debut match against Zimbabwe in Harare Sports Club, he smashed a century to start his international career in style. Later on, he played another knock of 146 runs in the ODI format.
But his ODI career could last only up to 21 matches and in 2018, he happened to bid adieu to international cricket. He scored 586 runs with an average of 30.84 with two half-centuries and two half-centuries to his name.
Jason Krejza
The off-spinner from New South Wales debuted for Australia 13 years back in the year 2008 during the Test series against Australia. Jason Krejza stunned everyone with his impressive performance as he scalped 12 wickets in the match against India.
Although, he failed in the next match against India and could scalp one wicket after conceding 204 runs. Just after these two tests, the management dropped him from the team since then he couldn’t make comeback to the team.
Narendra Hirwani
Former veteran Indian spinner Narendra Hirwani made his first appearance for the Indian team at the early age of 20 in the year 1988. He impressed everyone with his stunning performance in his first match against West Indies. But later on, he couldn’t continue the same performance in the matches India played away.
Khalid Abdulla
Khalid is the first player to score a Test century in his debut for Pakistan. He played a lot of matches in County cricket. But his international career for Pakistan couldn’t last long so he faded away after a brilliant start in international cricket.
