Tim Southee had left the captaincy after the defeat in Sri Lanka and now Latham has got this responsibility. India tour will be Latham’s first assignment as captain, which is considered quite challenging. Before the series, Latham has appealed to his team players to play without fear.
32-year-old Latham said, “Playing in India has always been a big challenge, but we have to go there and play without any fear. If we are successful in defeating India at home, we will get a good chance to win ourselves as well.”
We have to play aggressive cricket – Latham
Latham also said that the way to win in India is aggressive cricket. The left-handed batsman further said, “Those teams have achieved success in India, which have played aggressively, especially in batting. We will also have to play in the same manner so that India comes under pressure. We will plan how to play and hopefully we will play with good coordination there.”
