New Zealand Vs West Indies News

Catches win matches is a term used more often to highlight the importance of fielding to secure victory in crucial games. Shimron Hetmyer not just lived up to it but he also demonstrated a brilliant piece of fielding taking a one-handed stunner while fielding at deep point to dismiss Martin Guptill.

West Indies have listed 16 players for the upcoming run of eight T20Is in home conditions, five of which are against India starting Friday followed by a three-match series against New Zealand. Most notably, Shimron Hetmyer has made a comeback to the squad having last played a T20I in November 2021.

New Zealand’s star of the day, Kyle Jamieson was extremely modest after a stellar show and stated that he considers himself lucky for playing in the same era as three of NZ’s greatest ever quicks. The lanky pacer picked up five wickets in only his third ever Test match at the international level.

Andre Russell has admitted that he had changed his stance, technique and put on a new trigger movement after nothing was going his way just to score runs in the IPL. He also added that ‘country’ comes before anything for him and reasoned ‘not being in the right headspace’ for denying national duty.
