Tim Southee believes New Zealand’s recent Tri-Nation Series victory will provide a significant boost for the team in the upcoming Champions Trophy. The former pacer acknowledged that the team’s pace attack lacks experience due to the absence of himself and Trent Boult. However, he expressed confidence in Will O’Rourke and Nathan Smith, backing them to step up and take on the responsibility at this crucial stage. He praised the importance of experienced players like Kane Williamson and captain Mitchell Santner, who he believes will be the torchbearers of the Kiwi campaign. He acknowledged New Zealand’s track record in ICC events, where they have consistently been competitive, and believes that if they can build momentum, anything is possible. \”In a tournament like the Champions Trophy, if you get on a bit of a roll, anything can happen. I’d love to see the Blackcaps there and hopefully lifting the trophy at the end,\” he concluded.
