ISLAMABAD : Star New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor said he is “not sure” if he will have enough in his tank to represent New Zealand in next year’s T20 World Cup in India.
The ICC had last week postponed this year’s T20 World due to the COVID-19 pandemic and handed Australia the rights to host the 2022 edition. The governing body, however, retained India’s right to conduct the 2021 T20 World Cup.
Taylor, who had become the first New Zealand player to play 100 T20Is in February this year during a series against India, will turn 37 when India hosts the 2021 T20 World Cup.
“Oh! Not sure,” Taylor, who is currently in Trinidad for the month-long Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
“As you get older, things slow down a little bit, but your training and experience and your mind become even more important,” added the prolific batsman, who has so far scored over 10,000 runs in limited over cricket for New Zealand.
Taylor, who last featured in an ODI against Australia in March before the tour was called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, said it will be strange for everyone to play after such a long time.
