New Zealand vs West Indies 2017: 5 NZ players to watch out for in the Test series

#4 Ross Taylor

Ross Taylor

Like his skipper, Ross Taylor holds the middle order together, and is a vital member of the New Zealand line-up. Taylor has an excellent temperament and can bat in any situation.

He too has enjoyed a fair amount of success in 2017. Though he hasn’t touched the three-figure mark in 2017 in any format, he has been pretty consistent with the starts he’s been getting. In the whites, he has scores of 40, 60, 77 and 15 (not out) this year. He missed the last two Tests against South Africa due to a calf injury, so he will be eager to continue from where he left off (in Test cricket) in March.

New Zealand will hope that their most experienced batsman converts his promising starts and goes on to register big scores.
