Cricket lovers of Bangladesh will not easily forget that leisurely drama of Tamim Iqbal. The left-handed opener suddenly announced his retirement from international cricket after the first one-dayer of the series against Afghanistan in July, but Tamim came back after 29 hours on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's orders.

New Zealand's Neil Wagner has not been heard to have made such a request, five days after his decision to retire. But in the meantime, strong rumors of New Zealand's left-handed pacer breaking out of retirement have started. And when that possibility arose, Wagner had to take a punch from the rival Australian captain Pat Cummins.

At the moment, New Zealand is playing a two-Test series against Australia at home. Knowing that he will not be included in the eleven of the first Test of the series, Wagner announced his decision to retire before the first Test. The Kiwis lost the last Test in four days by 172 runs. After that, New Zealand captain and pacer Tim Southee said that Wagner may be brought back from retirement for the second Test.

The reason for the return of Wagner, who bid farewell to the Test in tears, is injury. Southee has confirmed that left-arm pacer Trent Boult will not be able to play in the second Test in Christchurch. Then New Zealand pacer Will O'Rourke got injured in the first test. The latest on his injury is yet to be known, but Southee has hinted at the possibility of bringing in Wagner if O'Rourke is not available for the second Test if his tests do not go well.

O'Rourke's injury status can be known within 24 hours, Southey said, "Who can be included in the XI (if O'Rourke can't play), what strategy we will play in Christchurch, we have to take those decisions now." With, 'Wagner has now received a great reception in the last week, he has many great moments in this field as well. It goes without saying that he is a fan favorite here.

However, after hearing about the possibility of Wagner's return, Australian captain Cummins punched. In response to this question, he laughed at the beginning and said, "The world's most fleeting vacation!" However, what he said at the end of the fun, it was understood that Cummins can easily understand the reason behind wanting to return Wagner to New Zealand, "Why not return!" If they think he is the best bowler left (outside of the bowlers in the squad and the injured ones), who can show something, then he will definitely come back!'
