Can I ask WTF you are on about. What does that have anything to do with what I posted?

That means for taking the retirement from T20Is, you first need to be a T20I cricketer, which you are clearly not as our team (PC) is not a national side and we don't play official (here, in story) ICC International games. As simple as that. ;) Anyways, we should be concerned more with the particular game on hand at the moment.

Nothing special. Just the total stats will do. I mean total matches played, run scored/wickets taken, strike-rate, economy rate, average etc will be enough a la cricinfo style.
