New Zealand have recalled the veteran batsman Ross Taylor for the three-match T20I series starting on November 1, Wednesday in New Delhi. Taylor has not played a T20I since New Zealand’s semi-final loss to England in the World T20 in March 2016.
Since then, he was dropped for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh in January this year before being overlooked for the only T20I against South Africa in February.
“Ross is in good form as well. He gives us another option through the middle order. It’s a real shame for Todd, but it will be nice to have Ross’ experience in the group,” New Zealand coach Mike Hesson said.
“If rankings are anything to go by we’ve obviously got a chance,” Hesson said. “We’re No. 1 in the world at the moment (for T20). We’ve got the bulk of the squad we’ve had for a while with some fresh and exciting faces as well. Once again, it’s a tough challenge here playing India in India” he added.
