India’s wait of nine years to win an ICC trophy like this continued. With the next T20 World Cup still two years away, India have ample time to identify players and groom them with the attack-at-any-cost attitude adopted by England. With the 50-over World Cup to be held next year, the focus will now be more on the one-day format but India will be looking to take full advantage of the three T20 matches here and then nine more T20 matches in the run up to the World Cup. India are fielding a second-rate team in New Zealand but despite this the team members have decent international experience. Gill, who shot to fame with his impressive performance in the U-19 World Cup in New Zealand four years ago, is expected to make his T20 debut here.
