IND vs NZ LIVE – Why New Zealand will be changeing Captain every match? New Zealand camp feels players are extremely tired after playing T20 World Cup & to prepare themselves for the two match test series – it is important that everyone gets equal rest.
This is the reason Kiwi team is likely to rest Tim Southee after the 1st T20 game.
“We have to make some decisions in the next 24 hours around how people scrub up, whether we rest anyone in terms of being just getting completely ready for test matches,” New Zealand coach Gary Stead was quoted by the Kiwi media.
“It’s the first time that I can remember that we’re so quickly into another series immediately at the back-end of the T20 World Cup” Stead added.
New Zealand currently leads the ICC Test Rankings with India 2nd on the ranking charts. The Kiwi coach & the team doesn’t want to lose the status, i.e the reason team is extremely serious about the two test matches in Kanpur & Mumbai.
On Tuesday as well, New Zealand test specialists were seen training in two sessions in Jaipur. While the T20 Squad joined the rest just in evening for a short hit.
