“Look, even with Tim and Trent there, we sort of like to think of ourselves as a pack,” Ferguson stated. “So, we have leaders in it and at the same time, everyone’s voice is very much heard and a big thing of the young players coming through is that their voice needs to be heard too and they see the game and play the game differently. For sure, I’ve had a bit more experience here and naturally, sort of relaying that information to them is important.”
Ferguson is used to taking part in this management position for Auckland in home cricket and the transition into worldwide cricket has been pretty easy, although New Zealand’s outcomes on this tour would possibly recommend in any other case.
“Even Blair Tickner, he’s come here and done exceptionally well and understood the conditions from an A series he played here,” Ferguson stated. “He’s had experience and he’s brought that into this series – both the ODIs and T20s – and he’s offering a lot of good information and clarity. I think that’s probably a huge positive for the Black Caps where everyone gets a say, and you know we are a collective trying to win the game and certainly, it’s nice to have some young bowlers coming through and getting that opportunity and experience.”
Ferguson’s mentorship of the youthful bowlers and publicity to Indian situations is among the many takeaways for New Zealand of their method to the ODI World Cup within the nation in October-November, however their rapid focus is to seal a uncommon bilateral collection victory in India. Apart from a one-off T20I in 2012, the guests haven’t gained a bilateral collection of any format within the nation.
“There’s a lot of experience and learnings to take from a series and obviously the Indian side is playing so well in ODI cricket at the moment and T20 as well,” Ferguson stated. “So, certainly coming here and touring – I’ve been here many times before – but every time I come, I learn something new and it’s something, as a group, we can review how this tour went and take learnings certainly through to the World Cup in six months’ time. But at this stage, it’s very much a focus on tomorrow night. We’re a team that sort of rolls game by game, series by series; so the focus is very much for tomorrow.”
Ferguson: Hardik’s captaincy is much like Williamson’s
“[I] hold him in a very high regard,” Ferguson stated. “Certainly, from day one, playing underneath him at Gujarat, he’s a clear leader within the group and demands the audience very quickly, but at the same time [he’s] similar to Kane [Williamson] in a sense that he has time for everyone in the group. So, as you can see, he has done well with India and his body language with the group has been fantastic and I think he’s an exceptional leader for the country. I certainly enjoyed my time playing underneath him.”
