After the conclusion of the Twenty20 World Cup, all eyes are now focused on the next series between India and New Zealand, which will consist of three Twenty20 Internationals and the same number of One-Day Internationals. In the shortest format of the game, Hardik Pandya would be the one to lead India, but Shikhar Dhawan would be the one to do so in one-day internationals. On Tuesday, New Zealand announced the members of their full-strength squad, and Kane Williamson was named captain of the team. Adam Milne and Finn Allen have been given an opportunity to compete in lieu of Trent Boult and Martin Guptill because they were not selected for the team.
Kane Williamson, the captain of the New Zealand cricket team, gave an interview to NDTV on Tuesday. During the course of the interview, he discussed the selection calls, the rise of Umran Malik, the debate over strike-rate in the shortest format, and the series against India that will be played shortly after the World Cup.
This kind of dismissal, which involves running the non-striker out of the game when he or she is too far ahead when the bowler is going to bowl, is being spoken out a lot, and Williamson is of the opinion that this manner of dismissal is not a “attractive element of the game.”
“We have no plans to proceed in that direction at all. It has been discussed quite a bit. To speak for myself, I do not find that aspect of the game to be particularly appealing. You know, you compete, you do everything you can, and you want to make sure that other people are not trying to gain an advantage by leaving the crease a long way early. You want to make sure of this because you want to win.
But I do not consider that to be a very important component of the game. The majority of spectators go there to see the contest between the bat and the ball and are surprised when the ball is not bowled “Williamson explained it to NDTV.
During the Twenty20 World Cup, one could see Glenn Phillips adopting a position similar to that of a sprinter at the non-end. striker’s When Williamson was asked about this, he responded as follows: “We in no way discussed the aforementioned topic. It was entirely due to Glenn.
He is fairly swift, and he believed that perhaps beginning like a sprinter would probably add more. You should know that he considered this. It was possible for him to acquire a head start if he had just stepped outside of his crease and put his bat in. There are only a few competing hypotheses now available “he added.
“Glenn is a really unique and distinctive player, and he had an outstanding World Cup, during which he played some fantastic knocks for our team. We are aware of his extraordinary abilities as an athlete. He is such a valuable player, and he gives our team that extra something that we’ve been missing “he continued.
