After spending 10 days in quarantine and getting used to Southampton, New Zealand has now traveled to London for the two-match Test series against England which will start from June 2, the day the Indian team will land in Southampton.
New Zealand had played an intra-squad warm-up match during their stay in Southampton.
“The New Zealand team travels to London today…,” the New Zealand Cricket board informed on Twitter.
The Kiwis are expecting their quarantine as well as two Tests against England prove to be a good warm-up for next month’s WTC final, beginning June 18, and gives them a head-start against India.
“It’s nice to be here (Rose Bowl). The guys can familiarise themselves. I imagine we’ll probably be in the same room when we come back,” pace bowler Tim Southee had said last week.
“When you come back for the final, you’re a little bit more comfortable having spent some time here and use the facilities and hopefully can get out and make the most of that later in the squad game in the middle,” he had added.
The finals of the World Test Championship will be played between New Zealand and India from June 18 at Southampton.
