  1. Tom Latham Not To Take India Lightly In WTC Final India is one of the best team across formats, said New Zealand vice-captain Tom Latham on Sunday ahead of their challengers for the inaugural edition of the ICC World Test Championship final, calling the Virat Kohli led team a “completely different side" from the recently played England team. Image source by twitter In the absence of injured Kane Williamson, the regular captain, Latham led the team to a 1-0 Test series win in the two-match Test series against England, their first in the UK since 1999 as well. Notably, the first Test ended in a draw. While talking about the biggest danger coming from India, he said, “All around the board. They’ve got a fantastic set of bowlers, a lot of quality batsmen that have scored runs in different conditions all round the world. They were over here a few years ago and played really well, so we know we’ll have to play well to beat them." While the Kiwis celebrated a great win, Latham said that the focus will shift to India within two days as the much-awaited summit clash will begin on June 18. Howveer, Latham also said that India’s performances on their tour of England in 2018 showed their class despite having a 4- 1 series defeat. “Great to put the feet up for a day, big challenge coming up but looking forward to celebrating, haven’t won here since 1999, so celebrate tonight and then look forward," Latham said. “Great support from Kiwis, the English and also back home. Atmosphere was amazing." However, New Zealand won the match by eight wickets and one day in hand and when he was asked what he would rate higher — a series win in England or a victory in the WTC final — Latham gave both of them the similar rating.

From our point of view, it was about coming here and focusing on these first two Test matches against England and trying to continue doing what we’ve been doing over a couple of years now. Now that we’ve ticked them off, it’s important that our focus shifts to India in a couple of days,” he concluded.
