Relaxed Ngidi unfazed by 'chokers' tag as he heads to his first World Cup

The 23-year old is more forthcoming on the flat nature on the English surfaces and the high scoring exploits of the hosts' current series against Pakistan and its headline- grabbing totals in the run up to the tournament. He felt they have the armoury to deal with the different conditions.

"I'm not all concerned with that. We are not all the same type of bowlers so, you know, certain people can adapt a lot better than other bowling attacks on certain surfaces, and as you can see, we've got spinners like Imran Tahir, bowlers like Dale and Rabada, people that have topped charts in terms of rankings, so if you look at that, I think our bowling attack will be fine in England," said Ngidi.

"People like to see high totals, so they are probably going to do as best as they can to prepare wickets like that. But that is not a fear that you should have as an international bowler, on any given day, there could be three down and next thing you know, a flat wicket all of sudden does not look so flat.
