By IANS News July 21, 2021 • 15:52 PM View: 1637

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson wants less grass on the Southampton pitch for the World Test Championship (WTC) final from June 18 since he feels there is plenty of rain around already. He termed the Indian bowling attack, which his side will face in the WTC final, as 'fantastic' and one with 'depth'.

"Yeah, they have got a fantastic attack. Brilliant, obviously a brilliant side. Throughout we have seen the depth they have as well, certainly saw that in Australia as well. A lot of strengths in their fast bowling and spin department," said Williamson in an interview to International Cricket Council (ICC) website.
