WELLINGTON: New Zealand cricket icon Ross Taylor confirmed Thursday he is bowing out of international cricket.
Taylor said the two-Test series against Bangladesh starting on Saturday will be his last in Test whites and he will call stumps on his career after the one-day internationals against Australia and the Netherlands in February and March.
The 37-year-old has been a mainstay in the New Zealand batting order since making his debut in 2006, amassing a plethora of records and achievements, notably the most runs by a New Zealander (18,074) and most appearances (445).
“It s been an amazing journey and I feel incredibly fortunate to have represented my country for as long as I have,” he said.
“It s been such a privilege to play with and against some of the greats of the game and to have created so many memories and friendships along the way.
