Only teams with big talent pool can have different players: Kane Williamson

Englands phenomenal success in whiteball cricket has forced rivals to consider different set of players and coaches for the limited overs game and Tests but New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson feels only a team with a big talent pool can afford to take that routeWilliamson was referring to the vast reserve of players that a side like India possesses and a smaller nation like New Zealand doesntAt the moment England is the only major cricket team to have different coaches with Brendon McCullum in charge of the Test side and Matthew Mott guiding the whiteball cricketersWith the volume of cricket happening that is definitely a challenge not just for the players but for the support staff too Williamson said in a virtual media interaction ahead of the limited overs series against India beginning here on FridayYou are playing games every two or three days and that absolutely has its challenges and you see more and more around the world where formats are split and once again there is a balance to strikeSome nations with larger player pools have more of an opportunity to do that and other sides have other challenges You are always trying to balance that out and make sure guys are freshAlso readKane Williamson We were very clinical in what we needed to doWilliamson whose team lost in the T20 World Cup semis last week was also asked if tournament champions England have set the template on how the shortest format should be playedThere are so many strong T20 sides and we saw it in this tournament more so than any other There were a number of upsets The English team plays a strong brand of cricket which is aggressive and suits the balance of their side and every team is always trying to work around its strength and play according to those to put out its best performanceThe game is evolving all the time but you also see it kind of go in circles where it goes in one direction and comes back to another At the end you are trying to understand what works for the team with the resources that you have Williamson saidThe six match series against India including three ODIs and as many T20Is will start the teams preparation for the 50over World Cup in India next year he saidIndia will be playing the series without their senior players but considering the incredible depth they have Williamson reckons the ones getting the opportunity will post a tough challenge for the teamNew Zealand tour will help Umran in his journeyWith India hitting the reset mode after yet another disappointing World Cup campaign the likes of Umran Malik have a chance to prove themselves on the big stageBesides a drastic change in powerplay batting approach India also need an express pace bowler like Malik to support an injuryprone Jasprit BumrahHaving worked with Malik in the IPL Williamson backed him to do well in New ZealandUmran is a super exciting talent Spent time with him last year and his raw pace was a real asset Seeing him in the Indian international scene is an amazing riseWhen you have the ability to bowl 150 plus it is very exciting By being in the squad clearly there are high hopes of his involvement with Indian cricket for a long time and coming on the tours like these will help him in his journeyBoult and Guptill remain big part of NZ setupFinn Allens rise as an opener meant veteran Martin Guptill had to sit on the sidelines in the T20 World Cup He is also not part of the squad for India series and neither is senior pacer Trent Boult who recently opted out of a New Zealand central contractWilliamson said Guptill was not picked for the India series as the squad in a home series is not as big as an away series while they hope to unearth more pace bowling options in Boults absenceWith the moving landscape we are presented with players have made a number of decisions and Trent being big part of our team has done that and although still available he has got a few other things to focus onThere is an opportunity at the moment with other guys on the fringe to get some opportunity and for us building a team and growing as a team is really importantBut Trent is certainly a big part of New Zealand cricket and has been for a long time it is going to be important to learn and get an understanding on how it looks over the next period said the skipperOn Guptill he added You could argue that he has been our best whiteball cricketer ever he is right up there He brings good qualities to the team and was outstanding through out the World Cup and passed on his knowledge with the young ones So full credit to himIt is for the second time in as many years that India and New Zealand find themselves playing a bilateral T20 series less than a week after the World Cup finalWilliamson said as players they have little control over the scheduleNot just the World Cup the schedule prior has been busy and has been the case for everybody After a major event there is an opportunity and sometimes a risk to have a few days off and come back together as a group but as you know the schedule is pretty fullAny opportunity to play India is a special one With India resting few of their players and bring in other players you see the challenges being faced with tight scheduling That is being the nature of the beastThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability
