Southee describes the Test against Afghanistan as "we've seen in the various styles what a side they can be."
The club over land issue is beginning to injure New Zealand, with high-profile names opting out of northern contracts. Examine captain Tim Southee acknowledged the issue, but attributed it to" the changing landscape of global cricket" as they prepare for a run of nine Test games over the upcoming month.
He recently expressed wish that the cricket board and the company leagues find a way of "working up" to resolve the issue, and back of New Zealand's exit for India to perform Afghanistan in a one-off Evaluation in Greater Noida, said that his country's table was" trying to come up with what's best for both parties".
" There are plenty of offers out there that were n't around years ago", he said. " But yeah, at the moment it's focus on playing for New Zealand and giving that everything at the moment".
It wo n't affect the team, he said:" We've seen a number of guys who have n't taken contracts, guys that are sitting on this plane with guys with contracts".
Among the people who have refused agreements in recent months are Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, and Adam Milne. Williamson is one of the players for the Afghanistan Test, which will be the first of six subcontinental matches ( seen in Sri Lanka and India later ), before New Zealand will host England at home in November-December.
" If you look at it as a whole- six Examine games in the peninsula- it's exciting", Southee said. " It's probably something we have n't done, in my time anyway. It's a fantastic challenge for the edge".
Second off: Afghanistan.
Afghanistan defeated New Zealand for 75 in Providence to win the T20 World Cup earlier this year by 84 goes.
" That part of the world, roll is going to play a big part. They've got some quality spinner, mixed in with some excellent bowlers as also. We've seen in other platforms that's been their power, their ball system, especially their bowlers"
" They are also new to the red-ball style, but we've seen in the various types what a side they may be", Southee said. " Only late in the T20 World Cup, last year in the one-day World Cup]where Afghanistan finished sixth], they are an improving area. They've had tremendous success in those two forms, and I am sure as a state they want to have victory in the longer structure as well.
In the past five or six years, we have seen them in a world function as both an improving and a risky side. particularly in their region of the world. We only saw them making the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, a couple of bothers last month, and the one-day World Cup as well. But we know they are a very good part in those problems."
Six Assessments in the continent could see the spinners taking center stage and the swift bowlers taking center stage. New Zealand have a great number in their game group: there is the left-arm roll of Ajaz Patel, Rachin Ravindra and Mitchell Santner, and the offspin of Michael Bracewell, to go with the part-time offspin of Glenn Phillips. Afghanistan's flip threat, of course, is a real one.
" That part of the world, flip is going to play a big part. They've got some quality spinner, mixed in with some excellent bowlers while well," Southee said". We've seen in other platforms that's been their power, their ball system, especially their bowlers. It's going to be an interesting issue.
"]The part of the spinner ] may change from place to place, shift from India to Sri Lanka and again to India. We have the options. We have guys that can bowl spin, offspin, left-arm spin, so we've got a good mix, mixed in with some quality pace as well. It's exciting for all the spinners. We were in Bangladesh last year, so as a spin bowler, I'm sure you're looking forward to this challenge".
As for his own game, Southee acknowledged, not for the first time, that he was n't "at my best towards the end of the summer". But" the body is good", he said as a bunch of New Zealand players left Auckland for India, adding," The cricket I have played since]the last summer ] has been pretty good, so I have enjoyed a bit of a break and enjoyed a bit of the cricket as well".
From September 9 through September 13, New Zealand will travel to Sri Lanka before making a return trip to India.
