The 37-year-old Taylor is in the spotlight as the dependable batsman recently suffered a calf strain during New Zealand's training at their high-performance centre in Lincoln this month.
However, Taylor allayed those fears on Monday. "Obviously, you don't want to have those little niggles and this [calf] niggle came about trying to get the hamstring right," he told espncricinfo.com
"It's part and parcel of being an international cricketer," he said. Taylor, along with Tim Southee, BJ Watling and Neil Wagner, were scheduled to depart for England on Monday.
