"I don't think anybody is forced to retire" - Kane Williamson dismissed Ross Taylor's remarks on Neil Wagner's retirement ahead of 2nd Test against Australia.

Kane Williamson dismisses claims of Neil Wagner's 'forced' retirement amidst speculations

"I don't think anybody is forced to retire" - Kane Williamson

<h2>"I don't think anybody is forced to retire" - Kane Williamson dismissed Ross Taylor's remarks on Neil Wagner's retirement ahead of 2nd Test against Australia.</h2>

Former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson addressed and refuted the claims made by ex-New Zealand player Ross Taylor regarding Neil Wagner's retirement from international cricket. Taylor had implied that Wagner, a key figure in New Zealand's pace attack, was compelled to end his career prematurely ahead of the two-Test series against Australia. However, Williamson, appearing beside current captain Tim Southee for a media conference marking their 100th Test match together, firmly dismissed the notion of any coercion in Wagner's retirement decision.
Wagner had publicly announced his departure from the international stage in an emotive press conference right before the inaugural Test in Wellington. This announcement came after the selectors communicated to him that he would not be featured in the playing XI during the series. Despite not being a part of the official lineup, Wagner was active on the field as a substitute and assisted the team by carrying drinks, underscoring his commitment and involvement up to the last moments.
Williamson, having not seen Taylor's remarks firsthand, emphasized Wagner's voluntary decision to retire. He reminisced about the preceding week as a time of reflection on Wagner's remarkable career, filled with significant moments for the team. "I don't think anybody is forced to retire. Last week, (Wagner) had a fantastic week reflecting on what was an incredible career, and we had some amazing moments in the dressing room and, you know, it didn't all go perfectly obviously, an on-field performance would have helped," Williamson highlighted, appreciating Wagner's contributions beyond his cricketing statistics.
The sentiments expressed by Williamson offer a counter-narrative to Taylor's comments on a podcast for ESPNCricinfo, where Taylor described Wagner's retirement as seemingly coerced. "I think it all makes sense a little bit now. There's no sugarcoating it: I think it's a forced retirement," Taylor had stated, referencing Wagner's availability for the last Test against Australia.
However, Williamson steered clear of further speculation, stating his non-involvement in the discussions regarding Wagner's retirement and confirming Wagner's status as retired.

After New Zealand's third successive World Cup defeat in the knockout stage, a dejected Kane Williamson still held his opponents in high regard.&nbsp; Addressing the post-match press conference, he heaped praises on the unstoppable Team India, who handed the Kiwis a 70-run defeat in the 2023 World Cup semifinal.&nbsp; 'India are playing seriously good cricket, they're a class side at the top of their game and to come out in a semi-final and continue and repeat what they've been doing throughout this competition shows where they're at as a team,' Williamson admitted.&nbsp; But the 33-year-old also mentioned that he and the rest of the New Zealand team should be proud of the effort that went in to getting them to that stage.&nbsp; Williamson also spoke about his U-19 World Cup counterpart Virat Kohli, who went past Sachin Tendulkar to score his 50th ODI century.&nbsp; 'Yes, I mean that's something quite special, I think if you play 50 games, some people would call that a great career. To get 50 hundreds, trying to find the words to describe it really. I mean he's the best isn't he?' he remarked.&nbsp;

A batting masterclass from Tom Latham who scored an unbeaten 145 and a solid 94 not-out from New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson, helped the Kiwis beat India by 7 wickets in the 1st ODI. The Blackcaps have now taken a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series.
Chasing a 307-run target, the two Kiwi batters stitched together a 221-run partnership as they ensured New Zealand reached the target without too much pressure with 17 balls to spare. New Zealand weren't off to a great start as they lost Finn Allen, Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell before the 100-run mark. But the partnership between Latham and Williamson took the match away from the Indians. Umran Malik picked up two wickets while giving away 66 runs in his 10 overs.
Earlier, Indian skipper Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill put together 124-runs for the opening wicket with both the batters notching up half-centuries. But the innings slowed down as the visitors lost 4 quick wickets. Shreyas Iyer though counter-attacked with an 80 off 76 balls and a quick-fire 37 off 16 balls from Washington Sundar ensured that the Indian team crossed the 300-run mark. Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee took 3 wickets each for New Zealand.

IND VS NZ 2nd T20I: Hooda, Suryakumar star in India's enthralling 65-run win vs NZ

The Kiwis were bamboozled by the Indian bowling attack as they failed to chase a a daunting 192-run target set by India courtesy of another Suryakumar masterclass.

Suryakumar Yadav's century and Deepak Hooda's four-wicket haul helped India thrash New Zealand by 65 runs at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. With the win, Team India take 1-0 lead in the three-match series after the first game was abandoned due to rain.
Chasing a daunting 192-run target, the Kiwis were off to the worst possible start as Bhuvneshwar Kumar sent Finn Allen back to the pavilion on a duck in the first over itself. Captain Kane Williamson then stitched a 56-run stand with Devon Conway to steady the New Zealand innings. But after the wicket of Conway, the Kiwi chase was derailed and they kept losing wickets from one end. Williamson, though, slammed a sedate fifty but couldn't take his team home as Hooda snuffled 4 wickets, conceding just 10 runs. Finally, New Zealand were bundled out for 126 runs with 7 balls to spare.
Earlier, after put into bat, Rishabh Pant as an opener failed to make any impression but his partner Ishan Kishan smashed some glorious boundaries, scoring 36 runs off 31 balls. Surya continued his superb run of form and went hammer &amp; tongs from word go. He went onto to score his second century in 2022 and remained unbeaten on 111 runs. However, it was Tim Southee's hattrick in last last over which didn't allow India to went past 200-run mark.

An unpredictable Pakistan side will clash with a formidable New Zealand in the first semifinal of the ongoing marquee event at Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday.&nbsp;
While Pakistan had a miraculous roller-coaster of a journey to the semis, the Black Caps had a straightforward passage into the knockouts after they finished top of Group 1.&nbsp;

But Kane Williamson's side has to defy history when they take the ground on Wednesday. In the last two limited-overs tournaments World Cups, the 2019 ODI World Cup and 2021 T20 World Cup, New Zealand failed to cross the line when it mattered the most, the finals.&nbsp;
However, on the eve of the first semifinal, captain Kane said that his team doesn't feel any pressure for not having won a tournament.&nbsp;
While addressing the press conference on the eve of the New Zealand vs Pakistan semifinal clash, Williamson said:
"I suppose when you turn up everybody wants to win, that's kind of a big part of the idea, I guess, of tournament sport. If you can find yourself in positions where you can compete to get across the line, that's a really good thing. But we're going into a semifinal. There are four teams there that certainly have the ambition to go the way and it's certainly been the case in the other tournament. So it's exciting. They're all great teams. All playing really good cricket. And we're certainly focused on our challenge tomorrow. And it's a strong Pakistan."

Pakistan, on the other hand, entered the semis after being on the verge of getting knocked out post their two losses at the start of the tournament. They are now looking good, having registered two back-to-back wins.
But the form of their captain Babar Azam had been a big cause of concern in the tournament given the Pakistani captain has managed to score only 39 runs in 5 matches played so far.&nbsp;
<h3>Babar Azam's score in five matches of ICC T20 World Cup Super 12 round:</h3>
vs India: 0 (1) vs ZIM: 4 (9) vs NED: 4 (5) vs SA: 6 (15) vs BAN: 25 (33)
Despite Babar's poor run of form, Pakistan team mentor Mathew Hayden has backed the captain and said the world can see a Babar special in the semi-final clash against New Zealand.
Hayden said: "There's lots of people that talk, but those of us that have been in the changing rooms with Babar and realize that cricket, when it's all said and done, is a very difficult game. You can't continue to keep on punching out hundreds and 50s and strike rates of 140-plus. There's got to be moments in time where there's a lull. And as we all know about the weather, once there's a lull, there's often a storm that follows. So look out, rest of the world, because I think you're about to see something very special from Babar."
