Jamieson said they are just trying to soak up history at the home of cricket.
The young pace sensation Kyle Jamieson has shared his first experience to experience the beauty of the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground, as the New Zealand players finally got to practice at the Lord’s on Monday (May 31) ahead of the first Test of the upcoming two-match Test series here from June 2.
Jamieson is on his maiden tour of England for the upcoming two-match Test series followed by the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against India from June 18 in Southampton.
After New Zealand’s first training session of the UK tour at Lord’s on Monday, Jamieson has opened up about his first impressions arriving at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground, saying every member of the touring side is just trying to soak up the ground and its history presently.
As reported by stuff. co.nz, Jamieson said on Monday: “First time today so that was a pretty cool experience to try and soak in everything about the ground and the history that comes with it. Just walking through the Long Room and going to the nets and standing out in the middle and even just getting used to the slope.”
The 26-year-old pacer further added, “There were a few photos taken, even Ross Taylor. It shows even if it's not your first time it's still a pretty special place to be. Guys were just trying to soak up the ground and its history, it's all around you, even on the walls.”
He signed off by saying about playing at Lord's, “We're mindful of not trying to fit too much in and push the envelope too much. It's not like we haven't really done anything for two or three months. It's about managing the next couple of days.”
