3. Martin Guptill
With scoring over close to 7000 runs in ODIs along with close to 3000 runs in T20Is, Martin Guptill right now has become a supreme entity in NZ’s white-ball cricket. The opener with his explosive batting has also amassed 16 ODI centuries along with 2 T20I tons. However, when it comes to the longest format, Guptill hasn’t been a soaring entity just like his limited-overs credentials.
That’s why the cricketer was last seen getting indulged in a Test match in 2016 and right now is a vigorous white-ball specialist who also plays some franchise cricket. Now with also especially being close to 35 years of age, Guptill rather than making a comeback in Test cricket will definitely prefer having an elongated white-ball career as much as possible. Also, with the two T20 and an ODI World Cup being scheduled in the coming years, the eminent white-ball opener will be eyeing to even further have a commendable run in white-ball cricket rather than getting reinvigorating himself in the whites.
Hence with a much bigger motive to make NZ grab a potential World Cup trophy, Martin Guptill definitely has some brimming white-ball responsibilities which in many ways might make him consider a potential Test retirement.
