Here is some excerpts from BCB XI Captain Alok Kapali:
"It is going to be a very important match for all of us because the series comes after two disappointing one-day tournaments. It will be a big boost for everybody if we do well in the game ahead of the first Test," said Kapali yesterday adding that he would be aiming for a draw.
"New Zealand is very strong team even without all-rounder Chris Cairns who has retired from Test cricket and injured speedster Shane Bond. But as always batting is our main concern so our focus will be to getting runs from the top-order," he said.
"
I'm confident that I will hit form. I have been working hard on improving my batting technique with team specialist Owen Mottau and coach Dav Whatmore. Both have told me to
stop playing flicks early in the innings and instead concentrate on batting straight." said Kapali
