New Zealand Quick Neil Wagner Retires From International Cricket
ANZ New Zealand Cricket Awards: Fast bowler Neil Wagner has announced his retirement from international cricket, bringing down the curtains on a 12-year-old Test career during which he played 64 Tests, the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said on Thursday.
Wagner revealed the news on the eve of New Zealand's two-match Test series at home against Australia. The 37-year-old will not be in the starting XI for the first Test at the Cello Basin Reserve and will be released from the squad ahead of the second Test in Christchurch.
He will finish his career fifth on the list of New Zealand’s top Test wicket-takers with 260 wickets, at an average of 27. Wagner won 32 of his 64 Tests, and claimed 143 wickets at an average of 22 in those victories.
