New Zealand wicket-keeper BJ Watling will be featuring in his final Test when he takes the field in the final of the inaugural World Test Championship against India. Watling has said that he is excited about the match and just wants to take it as just another game.
“I’m just looking forward to playing another Test match. It is an exciting one, and I’m certainly pretty pumped to be in the final. I’m just going into it how I do with every other test going through the processes of trying to win a test match,” the 35-year-old was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz.
“I’ve certainly enjoyed the time I have spent with this team playing cricket for New Zealand. It’s been a hell of a journey,” he added.
New Zealand will lock horns with Virat Kohli’s India in Southampton beginning on June 18. Talking about the final, Watling said that it is a massive opportunity and the side would look to continue the form.
“It’s obviously a massive opportunity to win a title, but I think what we’ve been doing leading into this, winning the games at home this summer, and then obviously winning a test series against England, it’s certainly been fantastic,” he said.
“We’ll try and do our best and try to carry on the form that we’ve been playing in for a reasonably long period,” Watling added.
The Blackcaps are coming into the title clash with a 1-0 win in two-match Test series against England away from home.
