There’s a lot of focus on what he might be able to achieve over a number of years and it’s incredible that he’s been able to do that,” Williamson told reporters in Greater Noida while praising Root. Convert He can do it too. He has been phenomenal. I have been a huge fan of his. Not just him, but the other guys (Virat Kohli and Steve Smith) as well. It’s amazing how he has taken the game forward in a big way.

He said, I mean, we are going to be challenged in many ways. But, it is an opportunity for us as a team to have a block here, the kind of experience we are going to get over the next two and a half months and they will be better for it. It is an exciting opportunity. It is good to be here, preparing for the first Test. We are trying to take those small steps and get familiar with those conditions.
