Former New Zealand batter Ross Taylor has said that the retirement of pacer Neil Wagner was a "forced" one. Ahead of the first Test between Australia and New Zealand, Kiwi fast bowler Wagner had announced his retirement from international cricket. The 37-year-old pacer took the emotional choice after a difficult chat with coach Gary Stead during which it was made clear that he was not in New Zealand's top XI for the forthcoming series against Australia.
Veteran Indian cricket team spinner Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that he occasionally becomes friends with media people in order to acquire footage of opponent batters during practice. Ashwin, who will play his 100th Test match in Dharamsala on Thursday, recalled how he used this strategy during the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. He took 12 wickets in 3 matches and was able to dismiss Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne on multiple occasions in those three matches. Ashwin added that his tactic is also extremely useful in putting pressure on the opposition.
The pitch for the fifth Test match between India and England in Dharamsala starting Thursday is expected to be a slow turner, according to a report by Indian Express. The report claimed that unseasonal rainfall has prevented the ground staff from working on the surface and the curators are expected to have a discussion with the Indian team management regarding the type of pitch that will be ultimately prepared. The Indian spinners have played a major role in ensuring the series win for the hosts and the pitch at Dharamsala is expected to be a slow turner once again with ample support for Rohit Sharma and Co.

Indian cricket team spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will play his 100th Test match as India take on England in the final game of the five-match series in Dharamsala on Thursday. Ashwin, who is only the second Indian bowler after Anil Kumble to take 500 Test wickets, has been in and out of the team in recent years. India have lacked batting depth in Test cricket and during matches against SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries, Ravindra Jadeja was favoured over the veteran spinner. In a conversation with Kumble on Jio Cinema, Ashwin opened up about his struggles earlier in his career and how he made peace with the doubts surrounding his selection.
