New Zealand, after 91 years into international cricket, finally won their first global championship in men's event by beating a strong Indian side in the final in Southampton. The triumph will go down as New Zealand's greatest cricketing moment. Wagner has been one of their main men in the journey towards glory. Since he is not a member of ODI and T20Is, the introduction of WTC in 2019 got him pumped up. "Never [dreamed of it]. No, that (playing white-ball cricket for New Zealand) was sort of a dream and a ship that had sailed to be fair - thinking about the white-ball World Cup in some sort of a way. So, when the Test Championship came around and it was sort of explained to us a couple of years ago what it's going to be like, I got quite excited by the idea. I thought it was quite special and I thought it was something that's going to make Test cricket the way it is right now and make it quite exciting and add a bit more perspective to it," Wagner said. "So, finally, I guess, getting to an ICC event and with something as big as that… how hard Test cricket is and to be able to do that for a period of two years; every Test match is extremely hard to try and put a performance in and win it. There's a lot of things that's got to go your way and lot of hard work you got to do over five days. "To then get into a final, which was obviously rain-affected and still play our brand of cricket and be positive and to get there, personally for me, I can't speak for everyone, this is the ultimate for me to win a Test Championship final though it's the first one and probably hard to compare with others, it's definitely the pinnacle of the game for me. And to win it against a quality team like

and the way we did and then to see what it has meant to everyone… The support back home and support that was around there - the text messages keep flowing in, phone keeps buzzing and to see what it has meant for Kiwi supporters and family and friends, it means a lot to us too. So, it's definitely right up there." In the next WTC cycle, New Zealand are tentatively scheduled to play
