IND v NZ: Looking forward to the spin challenge in Tests - Santner

New Zealand left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner and his spin colleagues are eagerly waiting to bowl on friendly tracks in the Test series against India. It’s about just trying to grind out as much as possible,” Santner said at a virtual press conference after India’s 3-0 series win in the T20I series. We’ve got guys like Ajaz and Somerville who are pretty eager to see some spinning wickets.” ‘Tough challenge’ Santner is well aware of the tough challenges in India as he was quick to recall New Zealand’s 2016-17 tour when it suffered a 3-0 thrashing in Tests beginning with the Kanpur Test. ‘Good in patches’ “It’s tough to do and they showed once again that it’s a tough challenge to come to India and play a really good side. We were outdone this series but we’re looking forward to the 12 months towards the next World Cup,” he signed off.
