NZ vs Pak, 1st Test: Williamson Calls WTC Points 'A Carrot' To Win Test Matches

By IANS News December 30, 2020 • 15:00 PM View: 2467

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson called the World Test Championship (WTC) points 'a carrot' to win matches but refused to look too far ahead to the WTC final next year saying that he'd rather focus on the present.

"Our focus is on the present. Absolutely, we want to play the World Test Championship final, and we saw it in the final session today, when there was that carrot in mind. But in Tests, you know that it's all about going moment by the moment, and that's what you play with," said Williamson after his team defeated Pakistan by 101 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series.
