New Zealand skipper Tom Latham remained considerate even after the historic 3-0 Test series clean sweep against India recently, asserting that Rohit Sharma's "quality" side has the ability to make a resounding comeback soon. (More Cricket News)
The Kiwis,ꦺ under Latham, became the first visiting side to whitewash India in a three-match home 🍸series, winning the Bengaluru, Pune and Mumbai Tests.
"They cer💎tainly don't become a bad team overnight and I'm sure they'll turn things around in time," he addꩵed.
Latham said the series victory became much sweeter because New Zealand suffered 0-2 defeat against Sri🍃 Lanka before landing in India.
"Indian cricket in general is really special. We've playe🌞d against them a lot. The guys play with them at the IPL. They were certainly gracious in defeat and they're still a quality side," Latham said after arriving here🅠 from India.
"When we were in Sri Lanka a few w♏eeks, where things didn't necessarily go our way, so, I think it makes these times extra special when you're able to achieve something that hasn't been achieved 💃before.
"It is just about enjoying🌳 everyone's company, celebrating together. We had✨ a couple of extra days to recover over there, so that was great," he said.
New Zealand will now face England in a three-match series at home, and Latham said fronting up to the 'Bazball' brand of cricket will offer his team a vastly different challenge.
"I think it's an exciting one. I guess you look at the Test matches in the past against England, whether it be home or away,💎 they've always tended t♔o be reasonably exciting. So, I'm sure this series will be no different.
"They've got an attacking brand that they like to play and I'm sure it will be no different in termsౠ of how they like to approach it. So, yeah, we're looking forward to it. Yeah, it'll be a great chal🧔lenge," said Latham.
