The former captain of the New Zealand cricket team stressed that no one can be forced to retire, it is the person’s own decision. Let us tell you, former New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor has recently made a shocking claim that Neil Wagner was forced to retire from international cricket. He has also expressed apprehension about the bad atmosphere in the New Zealand cricket team. Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor face to face over Neil Wagner Kane Williamson said in the press conference: “I don’t think anyone is forced to retire. I think he had a fantastic week last week reflecting on what an amazing career he’s had and some amazing moments we had in the dressing room. He has done incredible things for this team and we have seen his skills. I think he had a wonderful time with the team.” Is there a rift between Tim Southee and Neil Wagner?

NZ vs AUS 2024: Was Neil Wagner forced to retire from international cricket? Ross Taylor gave a shocking statement

(Image Source: Getty Images) Former New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor has made a shocking claim that fast bowler Neil WagnerNeil Wagner) was forced to retire from international cricket. 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.”
Marnus Labuschagne, who is constantly proving to be a flop in Test cricket, got the support of Pat Cummins.

Out of form Labuschagne got support from Cummins Let us tell you that regarding the poor test form of Marnus Labuschagne, Pat Cummins quoted Fox Sports and said – Not at all. He will be the first player to admit that he just needs to score a few runs to stay in the team. His poor form is not due to lack of practice in the nets. Apparently he was out in the second innings (first Test against New Zealand) due to down leg problem. Cummins further said- We are very clear about our team that these 6 players are the best batsmen of our team. Although sometimes this is not seen, the story of our team has been that when someone needs someone, someone always stands up. Let us tell you that at present Labuschagne is an important member of the Australia team in the two-match Test series against New Zealand. However, it will be worth watching whether he will get a place in the playing eleven of the second Test match against New Zealand starting from March 8 or not?
