Retirement isn't something veteran Black Caps batsman Ross Taylor is contemplating just yet.

Taylor is in quarantine in Auckland still savouring the side's success in the World Test Championship final against India in Southampton last week.
The subject of his playing future has again been brought up, but Taylor says he hasn't thought about it too much and at some stage will have discussions with New Zealand Cricket.
"I'm still loving the game of cricket, I still want to learn and get better so I think that's a good sign and at this stage I just want to keep playing cricket whatever level that is for as long as I can."
Taylor became the first player to play 100 internationals in all three formats of the game, the match against India last week was his 108th Test.
He's also played 233 ODI's and 103 T20 internationals.
So the suggestion of retirement for the 37-year-old is an obvious one and one that he's faced for a few years now.
"A lot of past players have told me that you're a long time retired and a lot of them also told me that they felt they retired too early.
"New Zealanders for whatever reason seem to retire at 34-35 and once I got to 37 I do understand why they did do it.
"Your age comes into question a lot more even though you're doing things exactly the same as you were two years ago but you're doing them wrong because of your age (so that's) sometimes a bit hard to swallow.
"It is what it is and I still feel I have something to give to this game both on and off the field.
"Regardless of when I do pull up stumps I still feel I can play domestic cricket, I still love playing for my country and I still love playing for Central Districts as well."

Taylor's last T20 international was against the West Indies in November, he wasn't selected for the games against Pakistan, Australia and Bangladesh last summer.
New Zealand tour Bangladesh and Pakistan before the T20 World Cup in the UAE in October.
Taylor doesn't expect to be in the side for that World Cup.
"The teams pretty settled in that T20 side and there's a lot of cricket to be played before and after that so no I don't see the team changing much in the near future."
Taylor says he's still savouring the Test Championship success and at the moment he's keen to get out of isolation and send some time with his family.
He knows what his schedule is likely to be for the next few weeks.
"Probably school drop-offs and things like that, I'm lucky that we'll be straight into school holidays and so I've got a couple of weeks grace there but just spending a bit of time with family and friends and relaxing a bit."
