The final test was exciting, with three results towards the end of five days. It was awesome to be able to hang out there for Test cricket as well as believing in our side. But there will be a new challenge in the next five days, ”Southe said on the eve of the second test, which will begin at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Friday.

‘Courage and Belief’

The situation or the pressure of the game did not disturb him. Ajaz, too, at the beginning of his international career. That strong head helped him play a lot of cricket at home, and he shows you the courage and faith in the team. “

LOTUTA – He trains in the interior of India, New Zealand cancels training because of the wet pitch

The players who weren’t playing had a break from training last week. We did our internship sessions. We’re glad the fast balls are taking more rest, you know. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. Being able to face tomorrow will be the same for both sides. It has been the same for both sides and it is something that both sides will have to adapt… ”
