New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson is looking forward to playing with Virat Kohli-led Team India in the ICC World Test Championship final at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton, starting June 18. All eyes are set for the big stage with two of the best Test team locking horns.
The Black Caps have already begun their UK tour with the first Test against England done and dusted. The loss of day 3 due to inclement weather resulted in a draw after New Zealand took a valuable first-innings lead.
India have a fantastic attack: Kane Williamson
While the WTC final is still a few days away, Kane Williamson lauded India’s bowling attack. Right-handed Williamson, while speaking to ICC, he remarked that the bowling attack of the current World No. 1 Test team is well-balanced and is likely to pose a stern challenge to the Kiwis batting line-up. That’s not it; India have got the depth and talent in both their spin and pace departments.
“They have got a fantastic attack. Brilliant, obviously a brilliant side. Throughout we have seen the depth they have as well, certainly saw that in Australia as well.
“A lot of strengths in their fast bowling and spin department. So yeah, a brilliant side, ranked right up the top, which is fair enough and an exciting opportunity for us to be involved in the final taking on the best,” explained Kane Williamson.
Adding further, Kane Williamson feels a sense of pride and excitement in his team being one of the finalists of the first-ever World Test Championship final.
“It is exciting. We are looking forward to that when we are taking on the top-ranked side in the world. We know how strong they are and the depth they have. So exciting to be playing against each other at a neutral venue,” he added.
