'I Still Feel Fit, Will Put My Boots If…': Ferguson Quashes Retirement Talks, Focuses On 2027 ODI WC

The New Zealand Herald: As the T20 World Cup in India approaches, New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson stated that he has no intention of retiring after the tournament and expressed his willingness to represent South Africa in next year’s ODI World Cup.

Now 34 and having not represented the Black Caps in 2025 because of injury, Ferguson finds himself at a similar stage of his career to Trent Boult, who was the same age when he announced the previous T20 World Cup would be his last for New Zealand.

Like several players who have defined the most successful period in New Zealand cricket history, Ferguson is approaching the twilight of his international career, with far more matches behind him than ahead.
