NEW DELHI: Kane Williamson on Wednesday dismissed the claim made by former batsman Ross Taylor that suggested New Zealand's star pacer Neil Wagner was "forced to retire" before the commencement of the two-Test series against Australia at home.
Wagner, in an emotional announcement, declared his international retirement on the eve of the first Test in Wellington. This decision came after selectors informed him that he would not be considered for the playing XI at any point during the Test series.
