I will miss wearing this red shirt of mine: Taylor

Auckland: Brendan Taylor’s voice wasn’t choked with emotion but the Zimbabwean was in a pensive mood after playing in his last match as an international cricketer, admitting that he would miss the “red jersey and the camaraderie” that he enjoyed over the years at the top level.
Though he’s scored a fine century, Taylor’s farewell international game ended in a six-wicket defeat by India in the cricket World Cup here on Saturday.
Asked as to what he will miss the most, Taylor instantly said, “Well, to be wearing this red shirt of mine. I guess it’s every cricketer’s dream to put on their country’s shirt. That’s why we play the sport. We’re lucky and privileged enough to do that. I will certainly miss that.”
Taylor said that he was touched by the gesture of some of the Indian players, who walked all the way from their fielding positions to congratulate him on his brilliant knock of 138 in his last international innings.
“Yeah, it was nice from some of the Indian guys, Shikhar, Virat and Suresh came up to me. That really was quite touching for me. They didn’t have to do that. They’re established players, and that was a very nice touch that they did, and then obviously my teammates just wished me well and thanked me for the little bit that I’ve contributed. (PTI)
