1st Test: Latham Poised To Lead New Zealand With Confidence In India Tour
World Test Championship: New Zealand new red-ball skipper Tom Latham is ready to lead team in what promises to be a challenging Test series against India, starting with the first match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. The 32-year-old is no stranger to captaincy, having led the Black Caps on nine previous occasions, and now, after Tim Southee’s recent resignation, he assumed the full-time role with a sense of responsibility and purpose.
Latham finds himself in a familiar situation. The last time New Zealand played Test cricket in India, in November 2021, he stepped in as captain when Kane Williamson was sidelined. Once again, Williamson will miss the first Test, this time due to a groin injury, and Latham acknowledged that the team would feel his absence. Williamson, the top run-scorer for New Zealand in the current World Test Championship cycle, leaves big shoes to fill, but Latham views this as an opportunity for others to rise.
“It’s a huge privilege for me to be in this position, regardless of whether I am captain or not. I am always trying to perform my role as best I can for the team. It’s not any different being captain. There is a little bit more responsibility. I have captained here in India before and back home as well,” Latham said on the eve of the first Test against India in Bengaluru.
