New Zealand team has already reached England as they have to play a two-match Test series against England from June 2. Many former cricket legends believe that playing the Test series against England ahead of WTC Final will help New Zealand in strengthening their preparations. However, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said that if England manages to defeat New Zealand in the Test series, then their morale will go down considerably, which can benefit the Indian team.
Australia’s fast bowler Pat Cummins believes that New Zealand’s team will enjoy the conditions more than India in the current rainy season in England when the two teams lock horns in the World Test Championship (WTC) final 2021.
