Firstpost  

New Zealand’s tour begins with the first of three Twenty20 internationals on Wednesday, only three days after the Kiwis lost in the Dubai tournament’s final New Delhi: Indian T20 skipper Rohit Sharma said Tuesday his players were “not machines” and needed rest, ahead of an imminent encounter with New Zealand on home turf just days after the World Cup. New Zealand’s tour begins with the first of three Twenty20 internationals on Wednesday, only three days after the Kiwis lost in the Dubai tournament’s final. Taking time off is necessary,” Sharma said at a virtual press conference, with India’s new coach Rahul Dravid at his side. “It’s obviously a pretty busy schedule… even before leading into the T20 World Cup, we had a series in Bangladesh and Pakistan,” said Southee, who will lead his squad in Williamson’s absence.
