New Zealand drop Ross Taylor, include Kane Williamson for Pakistan T20s

By AFP News December 12, 2020 • 09:26 AM View: 1158

New Zealand have dropped veteran batsman Ross Taylor from their Twenty20 squad for the upcoming series against Pakistan, while the side has been bolstered by the return of Trent Boult and possibly Kane Williamson.

Glenn Phillips and Devon Conway, who featured in a Twenty20 world record 181 stand for the third wicket against the West Indies last month, have retained their places in the side leaving no room for the 36-year-old Taylor.
