Recovering from a calf injury, experienced New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor said he will be back to full fitness ahead of the two-Test series against hosts England and the World Test Championship (WTC) final against India. The 37-year-old Taylor had suffered a calf strain during a training session at their high-performance centre at Lincoln earlier this month.
"Obviously you don`t want to have those little niggles and this (calf) niggle came about trying to get the hamstring right," Taylor told ESPNcricinfo.com on Monday. "It`s part and parcel of being an international cricketer. More is made of it when you get older."
