Jaipur: New Zealand team arrived here a day after losing on charter flight t20 world cup Final for Australia in Dubai. Since it is a bubble to bubble transfer, the Black Caps will not have to quarantine ahead of the first T20I against hosts India on Wednesday.
“They arrived in the evening and will be tested as per protocol before the practice session takes place tomorrow,” confirmed a Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) officials. New Zealand lost their first T20 World Cup final by eight wickets.
It is expected to be difficult for the Kiwis to regroup quickly for the three matches against India. “This is the first time I can remember that we are so early in another series, immediately after the T20 World Cup. It’s definitely tough and challenging but it’s in front of us,” head coach Gary Stead was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo on the busy scheduling.
Nine members of the Test team, including Ross Taylor and Tom Latham, who were not part of the T20 squad, arrived last week. The Indian team, which failed to qualify for the World Cup semi-finals, had its first training session on Monday under new head coach Rahul Dravid. India are scheduled to play three T20 Internationals against New Zealand on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday respectively, after which both the teams will engage in a two-match Test series.
