10 Current cricketers who should retire from Test cricket
While T20 cricket in today’s time has seen an evolution in terms of the profusion of T20 freelancers or specialists, similarly even Test cricket now demands those players who earnestly have the pedigree to ascend.
5. Ross Taylor
It was highly speculated that Ross Taylor might consider an immediate retirement after winning the World Test Championship final but the veteran still seems to be in the big mood for continuing to play the longest format. However, with his final goal of ending his international career by playing the 2023 ODI World Cup might certainly ask him to hang his boots in Test cricket.
By being the highest run-scorer for NZ in Test cricket, the legend has possibly attained everything in the longest format. The kiwi batsman certainly has the second most number of international hundreds (19) for NZ and also currently has the second-best average (45.84) after skipper Kane Williamson. Even the objective of winning the maiden ICC trophy has been achieved which collectively now in many ways must happily propel Ross Taylor to make a retirement.
Perhaps even his hiking age and the ageing body might forcefully make Taylor consider a prompt retirement maybe by the end of the year or otherwise the next year’s home cricketing summer might be his last Test endeavour.
