Ross Taylor Alleges Forced Retirement For New Zealand's Neil Wagner Ahead Of Australia Test Series
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor has stirred controversy by alleging that Neil Wagner's retirement ahead of the Test series against Australia was a “forced one”. Wagner's retirement announcement, made in an emotionally charged news conference before the first Test, has raised eyebrows, particularly given the circumstances surrounding his exclusion from the XI.
Neil Wagner, a stalwart of New Zealand cricket, bid farewell to the international stage after a distinguished career spanning 64 Tests and yielding 260 wickets. Taylor, speaking on ESPN's Around the Wicket podcast, voiced his suspicions, pointing out the timing of Wagner's retirement and his availability for selection.
"I think it all makes sense a little bit now. There's no sugarcoating it. I think it's a forced retirement. If you listen to Wagner's press conference, he retired, but it was after this last Test match. So he did make himself available,” Taylor remarked.
