Cricketers who could become commentators

Cricketers who could become commentators

Live every professional; cricketers do have a retirement age from the game. However, the ambassadors of the gentlemen's game have developed a tendency of coming back to the sport they love the most. After calling off their playing days, the cricketers are taking up coaching jobs at various levels and some has even opened their own cricket academies. However, the most novel way is to get back as a commentator.  The former cricketers have done a wonderful job in the commentary box. This article is about the current players who could become top commentators once they retire from cricket.

Dwayne Bravo

The West Indian players are god gifted when it comes to heavy voices. 

Ian Bishop and Michael Holding are the two leading commentators from the Caribbean Island at the moment. I believe Dwayne Bravo, the current ODI captain from this part of the world, could become one of the best in commentary. Apart from good knowledge of the game, he has impressive voice which is pleasing to ears. The flamboyance in his personality is an added advantage, which is enough to make even the dullest of the environment cheerful and interesting. 

AB de Villiers

I know his voice quality is not that great but he can cover that up with his edginess and shrewd brain power. Moreover, he is famous for using his brain rather than heart which is must to be successful in this field. The best thing about AB is that he likes to be free in whatever he does and if he takes up commentary as his next profession, the world would see his other side of the personality.

Kumar Sangakkara

The former Sri Lankan captain has got great command over English while he possesses a great voice. He has been quite vocal in his career so far and has not backed away from mincing his words about some injustice done to him and his fellow players by the Sri Lankan cricket authorities. These are the qualities which sets one apart from the others. The left hand batsman is a media favorite and his availability in the commentary box  could prove beneficial for his employees. 

MS Dhoni

The Indian captain has improved his communication skills over the years and doesn't hesitate from keeping his point of view in front of the world. MS Dhoni still needs to work on his pronunciation but that’s ok if he is willing to learn in this field. Dhoni will have to avoid any lucrative offer from the BCCI as the Indian board has a tendency of restricting commentator’s free thinking. 

Kevin Pietersen

He was liked by the audience in his brief stint as a commentator. The controversial English batsman was hired by one of the leading sports channels during the 2012 edition of the T20 World Cup, which was played in Sri Lanka. He was spot on in his views while his voice was soothing. Kevin Pietersen also showed his funny side by copying the moves of popular song Gangnam Style. This is the right way to go about in the field of commentators as this keeps everyone energetic and avoids the box from getting monotonous.

Michael Clarke

There is no problem in his diction and voice which would certainly lead him to success in the world of commentators much like his cricketing career. Expressive and focused, he is an ideal candidate for the position of a commentator and could achieve new heights like Ian Chappell once he retires from the game.
