Ross Taylor and wife gifted with baby boy

Former New Zealand captain Ross Taylor has tweeted to confirm the birth of his second child.

Taylor’s second child was born this morning and the explosive batsman announced him becoming a dad for the second time soon after.

Jonty Luteru Taylor was born in Hamilton’s Waikato Hospital and is Taylor and wife Victoria’s second child. Daughter Mackenzie was born in September 2011.

Taylor, who was part of the New Zealand team which beat India in the first Test at Auckland last week, had to miss the ongoing second Test at Wellington to attend the birth of his second child.
