New Zealand are playing against the Netherlands in the final game of the ODI series at the Seddon Park in Hamilton. Many of the important Kiwi players are not playing in this series because of IPL duties. However, this game is very important for New Zealand cricket.

New Zealand’s stalwart Ross Taylor will bid adieu to international cricket after this game. In December 2021, Ross Taylor announced that he will take retirement from International cricket after the home summer of New Zealand. Ross Taylor got out on 14 runs in his last game and finished his ODI career.

“It’s been an amazing journey and I feel incredibly fortunate to have represented my country for as long as I have,” Taylor said in a statement.

“It’s been such a privilege to play with and against some of the greats of the game and to have created so many memories and friendships along the way.

“But all good things must come to an end and the timing feels right for me.”
