Ahmedabad, Oct. 31: After their disastrous outing in the ODI series against Bangladesh, the tour of India provides New Zealand with an opportunity to start afresh, according to skipper Daniel Vettori.
“India are playing incredible cricket with such an experienced side,” Vettori said here. “We have quiet a few young players with 2-3 years of experience in first class cricket. We are looking for a good performance by the young players, and looking forward to this tour as an opportunity to comeback,” Vettori said.
Expressing disappointment over the Bangladesh series, coach Mark Greatbatch said the team did not play the way they should have.
The coach, however, said that his team were excited to be in India and he was looking forward to young players to hit form and find their rhythm. Greatbatch said that since the wickets here are quiet different from those in New Zealand, they have planned a balanced bowling attack including some spinners.
New Zealand, who arrived here on Saturday night had an exhausting practice session at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera.
