I try to operate according to what team wants to play: Latham on handling captaincy pressure
Back at the helm of affairs after Kane Williamson's injury, New Zealand captain Tom Latham on Tuesday said he always tried to operate according to what his team wanted to play.
Regular skipper Williamson returned to action on Friday after nearly five months, having nursed an ACL injury, before suffering a thumb fracture against Bangladesh that ruled him out again for a few matches.
New Zealand face England-beaters Afghanistan aiming to keep their unbeaten run intact
Afghanistan's upset win over defending champions England has given the side a new stature and New Zealand would underestimate Hashmatullah Shahidi's side at their own peril when the two sides clash in their World Cup match here on Wednesday.
While the Kiwis would look to keep their unbeaten run going in the tournament, Afghanistan, who shocked England by 69 runs, would be keen to create another big upset and put their campaign firmly on track in the showpiece event.
