MUMBAI : New Zealand are bracing for a trial by spin in their two-test series against India but the world champions are excited to face the acid test, captain Kane Williamson said on Wednesday.
The series between India and New Zealand, starting with the opening match at Kanpur on Thursday, will be the first between the sides since they met in the final of the World Test Championship at Southampton in June. "It's been a while since that final which was a special memory, but we know we're here against a very strong side and they're formidable, particularly in their own conditions," Williamson told reporters.
The touring side have had only two training sessions as a full squad, with their Twenty20 players taking part in a three-match series ahead of the tests. Williamson, who skipped the T20 leg, said they will have to adjust quickly.
