New Zealand all-rounder Kyle Jamieson has recently said that he is looking forward to picking the brains of the experienced bowlers of New Zealand for the upcoming series against England and then the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final against India as well. However, during his first tour of England, Jamieson will have Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, and Doug Bracewell on the side and he can follow them in the UK as well.

“Their experience will be really helpful, from the guys like Tim, Wags, Doug and even Henry as well, who’s played a lot over here. There’s so much experience around English conditions and what the Dukes ball can do. So I’ll try and look and lean on for the next few weeks,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Kyle Jamieson as saying.

Meanwhile, when he was asked about the challenge of bowling with the Dukes ball, Jamieson said: “It is certainly a bit different – it’s a bit darker and harder as well, and the seam is a little bit more narrow. So it’s just about trying to get used to that and the hands.”

“There have been conversations around what the Dukes ball can do, but whilst being mindful of the fact that you don’t want to go searching too much and try to move the ball too much, and then getting caught on the bounce a little bit. So I’m sure over the next few days we’ll have a few more conversations on what it looks like and then go from there,” he further added.
