Ross Taylor has come out of retirement to represent Samoa in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup Asia-East Asia Pacific Qualifier. This tournament is the final step in Samoa's path to qualification for next year's Men's T20 World Cup. The former New Zealand international took to social media to announce his decision.
"It's official - I'm proud to announce that I'll be pulling on the blue and representing Samoa in cricket. This is more than just a return to the game I love - it's the huge honour to represent my heritage, culture, villages, and family," Taylor said.
Taylor is eligible to play for Samoa due to his mother's heritage who is of Samoan descent. Having completed a three-year standoff period since his last game for New Zealand in April 2022, Taylor can now play for a second international side
