Will remember the India series for the rest of my life: Kyle Jamieson
New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson said that he will never forget the home series against India for the rest of his life. Kyle Jamieson was drafted into the Test side in place of Neil Wagner who was awaiting the birth of his child.
Kyle Jamieson grabbed the opportunity and contributed with both bat and ball, picking up nine wickets in the Test series including a five-wicket haul.
Kyle Jamieson was overwhelmed by sharing the dressing room with world-class players like Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, etc. and felt great about contributing to the team's win.
"I don't even know now if I can really believe how it all unfolded. You know as a fan of Black Caps team and watching especially the Test side being settled for so long with some world-class players all of them sitting in a dressing room and winning a test match which as all the guys said is of such value as they don't come around that often," Kyle Jamieson was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
"So you know it is something that I will remember for the rest of my life, playing against a world-class team like India, being in the team and contributing to a couple of wins," Kyle Jamieson further added.
