Recovery for a torn calf varies from two to six weeks, which would rule Taylor out of the final two tests in Wellington and Hamilton. Taylor was hitting form for the Black Caps following surgery on his left eye to remove a pterygium in December. He scored two half centuries in the test series against Bangladesh before scoring ODI centuries against Australia and South Africa to become the nation's record holder for most ODI tons. New Zealand toured South Africa last year and probably won't play them before the 2019 Cricket World Cup, a tournament Taylor has mentioned as a possible swansong to his successful career.
