4. New Zealand Cricket Team
The New Zealand cricket team is no longer the underdogs. In the recent ICC World Test Championship, they proved that they have the mettle to dominate world cricket.
Over the last few years, the New Zealand team has managed to create a formidable bench strength. In the test match at Edgbaston, New Zealand was without six of their first-choice players but still beat the hosts. The likes of Devon Conway, Will Young, Kyle Jamieson strengthen the already solid core group of players that they have.
New Zealand has just six teams playing in domestic cricket, but their Coach Gary Stead believes that is what has worked for them in finding the correct talent. “We have just six teams playing domestic cricket and there are around 90 players to choose from. It actually works for us because we can work on them closely.”
