The deflating ODI loss behind him, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson Tuesday said he is excited about the prospect of testing unheralded players against a "top" team like India in the T20 series starting Wednesday. The Kiwis lost the five-match ODI series 1-4. Williamson said with Martin Guptill ruled out due to a back injury, some rookie players will be in action in the three-match T20 series against India. We are going to see some debutants throughout the series and it is really exciting," the Kiwi skipper said on the eve of the opening T20. Williamson said any form of international cricket against a quality side is good for the preparation of the team.
