New Zealand batsman Taylor keen to play on after WTC win

New Zealand's most prolific batsman Ross Taylor has batted away talk of retiring in the wake of their World Test Championship (WTC) triumph and hit back at critics for focusing on his age.

The 37-year-old has not made a test century since November 2019 but played a key role in New Zealand's WTC win against India and the preceding test series victory over England. Taylor, who said he was looking forward to reuniting with family and friends once freed from hotel quarantine in New Zealand, is giving no thought to calling time on a sparkling career of 108 tests and over 300 short format internationals.
