Ross Taylor has also expressed fear of a bad atmosphere in the New Zealand cricket team. Let us tell you, 37-year-old Neil Wagner said goodbye to international cricket last week when he was told that he would not be selected in the playing eleven in the ongoing two-match Test series against Australia. Wagner announced his retirement in an emotional press conference before the first Test. However, Wagner entered the field as a substitute fielder during the first Test. Neil Wagner’s presence would have made a big difference: Ross Taylor Meanwhile, Aaron Finch said on ESPN’s Around the Wicket podcast: “I couldn’t believe Neil Wagner was not in the playing XI. Because he would have at least scared Josh Hazlewood. He might have even stopped Cameron Green from scoring this week. “It was a really interesting call.” On which Ross Taylor agreed with Aaron Finch and said that Wagner’s presence would have made a big difference, as Cameron Green and Josh Hazlewood snatched the match from New Zealand by adding 116 runs for the last wicket. Ross Taylor said on ESPN’s Around the Wicket podcast: “His experience would have been very useful and you heard Pat Cummins talking about the plans they had prepared for him. Experience matters a lot, but no, I agree with Finchi. “He made himself available.” I don’t think if Wagner had been there, he would have got a 100-run partnership. I think it’s all starting to make sense a little bit now. There is no sugarcoating it. I think he has taken retirement by force or compulsion. If you listen to Wagner’s press conference, he was considering retiring, but it was after this last Test match. So, He made Himself available. And to see him not being selected… I think you need to plan for the future, but in this situation against Australia I can’t think of anyone other than Neil. I am sure the Australian batsmen are sleeping peacefully knowing that he is not in the team.”
IND vs ENG: England should swallow their pride and play the remaining two Tests in their own terms: Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch (Image Source: Getty Images) Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England. So far, three Tests have been played between the two teams in which India is leading 2-1. England had won the first Test played in Hyderabad by 28 runs. However, the team had to face defeat in the second and third Tests played in Visakhapatnam and Rajkot. In the third test played in Rajkot, India defeated England by 434 runs. England could score only 122 runs in the fourth innings of the third Test. It is very important for England to win the fourth Test to be played in Ranchi. Regarding this, former Australian captain Aaron Finch has given important advice to England. Aaron Finch has said that it has become very important for the England team to perform well in the remaining two tests. Aaron Finch told ESPNcricinfo, ‘I think he needs to understand the game properly. The England team is getting away from the game because they are thinking of scoring quick runs. They have to change their way of playing. Sometimes for the session and sometimes you have to swallow your pride and play the match on your own terms. England’s opening batsman is giving a good start but the rest of the players are spoiling it. Michael Clarke also presented his side Former Australian player Michael Clarke said, ‘England is playing aggressive cricket but this is also a cause of trouble for them. England now have to come together and change Bazball or whatever it is called. If you want to play like this then you have to have confidence in yourself and not think about what people are saying? If you think you can beat India by playing aggressive cricket then you need to play like that. I hope that England will definitely make a comeback in this test. England has started its preparations for the Ranchi Test. Whatever mistake the team had made in Rajkot, they would not like to repeat it here.

Aaron Finch (Image Source: Getty Images) Former Australia cricket team opener and T20 World Cup 2021 champion captain Aaron Finch has given a big statement saying that ODI cricket should be reduced to 40 overs. So to strengthen his point, Finch said that this will attract cricket fans and spectators in the stadium to watch the game. It is noteworthy that in recent times there has been a decline in the interest of ODI cricket. However, during this period, Test cricket has become more exciting. Apart from this, T20 cricket has always been in demand among cricket fans. The recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India was a successful season despite some logistical problems. However, in the rest of the bilateral ODI series in the world, the presence of cricket fans and the interest in the matches seems to be continuously decreasing. Aaron Finch gave a big statement Let us tell you that while talking about ODI cricket, Aaron Finch said according to a news of Sports Keeda – I think it should be till 40. I would love to see this. England used to have a tournament called Pro-40 for some time, which was a very big competition. Finch further said- At the moment I feel that the game (ODI cricket) has become long. The pace of teams bowling 50 overs is so low that it is 11 or 12 overs per hour. This is not acceptable in this format. People will talk that T20 format is a great format, but it is all about the fans. Well, it will be interesting to see what steps the International Cricket Council (ICC) is seen taking to make the ODI cricket format interesting in the future. 4 Indian bowlers who became number 1 bowler in test cricket List of batsmen who remained not out most number of times in IPL Top 4 Indian bowlers who took 150 wickets in least number of test matches List of foreign players earning big from IPL 2024 5 bowlers who have dismissed Joe Root the most number of times in Test cricket Fast bowlers who have taken more than 150 wickets for India in Test cricket Which player has scored the most runs for his franchise, see the complete list Top-5 bowlers who took most wickets against India in test format 4 Indian players who scored a double century in test cricket at the youngest age These batsmen have scored more runs in IPL than MS Dhoni.
