ICC World Cup 2019: Top 10  Players who could be playing their last World Cup

#3 Ross Taylor ( New Zealand) – Age 34

Ross Taylor will continue to play after the World Cup but not for too long

Matches – 218, Inns – 203, Runs – 8026, 100s – 20 50s – 47

Ross Taylor is New Zealand’s highest run-scorer in ODI cricket. He achieved that distinction in the recently concluded ODI series against Bangladesh after going past Stephen Fleming’s aggregate of 8007 ODI runs.

Since his debut against the West Indies in 2006, Taylor has been a consistent performer for New Zealand. He has occupied the crucial number four position in the batting order for his country for a long time. The New Zealand batting revolved around Taylor’s presence in the middle order.

The oppositions have to always strive hard to dismiss him if they are to entertain any hopes of winning as the Kiwis are always in with a chance as long as Taylor is at the wicket. England found that out to their dismay last year at Dunedin when Taylor made 181 not out and took New Zealand home in a chase of 336. Even in the recent series between India and New Zealand, a big factor behind the away side's win was that he was kept under check.

Like Faf du Plessis, Taylor will continue to play after the World Cup but unlikely for too long. In all probability, this should be his last World Cup.
