Legendary New Zealand pacer announces retirement

The hard-working and durable New Zealand fast bowler Neil Wagner has announced his retirement from test cricket at 37.

South Africa-born Wagner played 64 tests for New Zealand and will finish fifth on New Zealand’s list of all-time test wicket-takers with 260 at an average of 37.

The left-armer likely was not going to be included in New Zealand’s lineup for the first test against Australia, starting at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Thursday and decided to retire from the five-day game.
