New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson feels that England speedsters in James Anderson and Stuart Broad are legends of the game and that they are still playing is no short of great achievement. The Blackcap further went on to say that playing against England in English conditions is going to be a tough challenge, especially because of the talent pool they have at their display.
Talking about England’s depth of the squad and how well they are managing it, Williamson said, “They have got a lot of Tests coming up. Starting with us and then there is India and Australia (Actually they play West Indies first and then go for Ashes down under, although Windies tour isn’t confirmed as of now). And when there is so much volume in cricket, you gt to manage it well.”
“Look, they have got world-class players and have a huge amount of depth in the squad. And the credit for this goes to the quality and amount of cricket being played in the UK. So we are going to be up against a tough challenge in the upcoming Test series,” added the 30-year-old about the two-match series beginning with the first Test in Lord’s from June 2.
Both Broad and Anderson, who among them have more than 1100 Test wickets, have been picked for the series and Williamson couldn’t have enough praise for the duo. “Legends of the game aren’t they?’ he said. “They are still playing, still very fit and going as well as they have ever done. Naturally, they are world-class players and know these conditions better than anyone else. They are still going at the highest level of the game is just incredible,” said Williamson in a video uploaded by the official account of New Zealand cricket.
