BENGALURU: Captaincy is not unfamiliar territory for Tom Latham.
When New Zealand last played a Test in India - in 2021 in Mumbai - Latham stood in for an injured Kane Williamson. Since then he has stepped in for Tim Southee, who took over in 2022, on a few occasions. This series against India, coming on the back of New Zealand's 0-2 rout at the hands of Sri Lanka, will be Latham's first as full-time skipper.
