Defending WTC title will be huge challenge, focussing on preparing well for tours: Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson led New Zealand to victory in the inaugural World Test Championship final against India.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said that the team will be focussing on preparing for tours as well as possible as they look to defend their World Test Championship (WTC) title. The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday announced the fixtures that will form the new WTC cycle. "We know trying to defend the title will be a huge challenge, but our focus will be on making sure we prepare as well as we can for the tours ahead and trying to maintain our level of performance," said Williamson in the ICC's press release.
