Ajit Agarkar pointed out that New Zealand has always been a strong contender in many of the recent ICC tournaments. While the Kiwis finished as the runners-up in World Cup 2019 and the 2015 World Cup, they were the semi-finalists in the T20 World Cup in 2016.
Speaking to Star Sports as to why India shouldn’t underestimate New Zealand, Ajit Agarkar said:
New Zealand beat India comprehensively at home: Ajit Agarkar
Ajit Agarkar also recalled the series scoreline when India last played New Zealand in Tests. Kane Williamson and his men completed a 2-0 clean sweep when Virat Kohli’s team visited the Kiwis in early 2020, winning by a 10-wicket margin in the first Test and a 7-wicket margin in the second game.
The former cricketer also mentioned that the conditions in England would be very similar to New Zealand.
Team India will arrive in the UK on June 3. They will proceed directly to the on-site hotel at the Hampshire Bowl, where they will be tested again before they begin a mandatory quarantine.
