'Retirement never crossed my mind' - Taylor

October 2006. A 22-year-old fast bowler rips through the defences of Michael Hussey, Brett Lee and Brad Hogg at the Brabourne Stadium to become the first West Indian to get a hat-trick in ODIs. The bowler oozes promise and his spell is crucial in West Indies winning the Champions Trophy match by 10 runs.
October 2014. The fast bowler, on a comeback trail after a long hiatus, is back at the Brabourne Stadium, as West Indies embark on their third tour to India in three years, and the memory of that hat-trick still fresh in his mind.
"How can I forget anything like that? It is there and it will be there for a very long while until I can put something in front of that," Jerome Taylor said, on the eve of the practice match against India A. "But that was one-day cricket and that's in the past. There are lot of things that can be achieved in the future. I am actually working on being a better cricketer overall as well."
