Preparation to play best cricket: Williamson
Kane Williamson said that we are going to be challenged in many ways in Asia. We have a chance to spend time here. I think it is important for us as a team to keep moving forward, gain the experience we are going to get in the next two and a half months and focus on getting better during this time. It feels good to pay attention to the little things while preparing for the first Test here. We will try to play our best cricket by getting as familiar with the conditions as possible.
The former New Zealand captain said that in some ways it is like a tournament. The duration in the Test Championship is long but its importance is more. The importance of Test cricket has increased due to the Test Championship. Williamson admitted that his team does not get to play so many Test matches together and these six Test matches matter a lot in their calendar of the World Test Championship.
New Zealand has a bad record in India
New Zealand’s record in India has not been good. The team has managed to win only two out of 36 Test matches here. When asked about this, Williamson said that we always know that whenever you play in these countries, you have to face a tough challenge here but playing against strong teams is always a great experience, so this is a good opportunity for us. You know that we get a chance to play in these conditions in Tests after a long interval.
