‘Latham a huge positive for Kiwis’

New Delhi: Despite being whitewashed 0-3 in the recently concluded Test series, former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum on Wednesday said the young Kiwis can take a lot of positives from the ongoing India tour. The keeper-batsman reckoned that opening batsman Tom Latham has emerged as one of the finds of the tour. “I think Latham’s batting has been a huge positive, Ronchi in Test cricket and the bowling group stuck to their task really well too. It’s early days for spinners Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner but I think they performed really well,” said the former opener. “It’s not easy to come here and compete. It’s incredibly difficult as the conditions are so different to what we have back home.” — PTI
