  1. Immediate Focus on England Tests, Says Kane Williamson New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has said that his team’s immediate focus is on the two-match Test series against England but there is a “lot of excitement” for the upcoming inaugural World Test Championship final against India which they will pay after the series. “The first challenge, which is the first Test against a very strong side (England), is what we need to be focussing on, and I know as a group that is what we will be talking about,” said Williamson on icc- cricket.com. “At the same time, we are playing three Tests quite close together so there is in the back of your mind an eye on that (WTC final), which is a really exciting opportunity.”

  2. New Zealand will play against England in the opening Test at Lord’s from June 2, while the second Test will be played at Birmingham from June 10. The Kiwis then play against India in the inaugural WTC final at Southampton from June 18-22 as well. However, the Williamson-led team is currently undergoing the quarantine period at the Hampshire Bowl. Williamson, however, said that playing the WTC final is quite special and that they are too much excited too. “I know the guys are really excited. Just being over here to play Test cricket is always a fantastic opportunity, but to play that third one, which is the Test Championship final, is pretty special. For us, it is a progression thing that is important. In three Tests there is every opportunity to do that. We know we are up against some really tough challenges but I know the guys are really excited to face those. The first step is getting out and preparing for it. There is a lot of excitement in the camp and we always know how tough the challenge is coming over and playing against England in their own backyard. I know all the players are really excited at that challenge,” he concluded. While New Zealand will get the time to prepare for the WTC final with two Tests against England, India will take on England after the WTC final in a five-match Test series as well.
