Hyderabad, Sep. 13 (ANI): The Auckland Aces cricket team arrived here on Monday to take part in the upcoming Champions League T20 tournament.
Members of the team interacted with mediapersons and stated that they are well prepared to face some of the best teams in the game of cricket.
"We have had really good preparation coming to this tournament. I had been in Brisbane for a week and a half in anticipation of this tournament. We have got a few guys coming in from England to play cricket. They have been playing good cricket at the moment, so they are in good form right now. And we have got some guys playing overseas as well. So in the run back, we can get really good scores. We have got lots of international experience in our squad and we are really looking forward to playing in Kolkata and some cities where we played before. They have got some really good players as well. Every team in this competition is hot in the fast hand," said Daryl Tuffey, cricketer of Auckland Aces.
Paul Strang, coach of the Auckland Aces said that it was not easy to beat Indian teams especially when they have spinners like Amit Mishra.
"If you are breaking into the Indian team, I think you have got to be a good player. Making a step to be a successful international bowler is a different story and it takes many years. You don't have a (Amit) Mishra to have a couple of good years. People work on how to play them and how we bounce them back will show how good we really are," said Strang.
The tournament would begin from September 23 and would continue in the month of October.
The tournament will see 10 teams from various countries contesting with each other in the T20 format. (ANI)
