In a recent media interaction, Kane Williamson discussed the challenges and opportunities of captaining in Test cricket. He acknowledged the adjustment needed, especially since Tim Southee has been leading the Test side for nearly two years. Williamson emphasized the importance of adapting to playing conditions in the subcontinent, noting the challenge of playing six consecutive Tests in such environments. Reflecting on New Zealand’s past difficulties in the subcontinent, he highlighted the value of this extended tour for gaining experience. He stressed the significance of the Test Championship and the unique challenge of playing nine Test matches in three months. Williamson also mentioned the need to adjust strategies, particularly regarding spin bowling, due to the unfamiliarity of playing Test matches in India after four years.
