IPL and Test series schedule clash is not desirable: Williamson

The Kiwi cricketers are a bit upset with the clash of the Test series with the IPL. Captain Kane Williamson said the situation was not desirable at all. Test series or IPL. He is also hesitant about which one to choose.
England's New Zealand Test series will start on June 2. There will be two Tests at Lord's and Edgbaston. Then there is the final of the World Test Championship at Lord's from 16 June. Confirming the final, the two Tests of the England series are therefore very important for New Zealand in terms of preparation.

Zealand cricketers have been skeptical about playing in the series. Apart from Captain
Williamson, Test team's Trend Bolt, Kyle Jamieson and Lucy Ferguson will also
be busy in the IPL.

if they want. The board will not force it. Rajasthan Royals cricket director
Kumar Sangakkara also spoke on the issue earlier in the day. According to him,

The Black Caps
captain has not yet decided whether to play in the Test series. He is looking
forward to the final schedule of the England series and IPL, ‘It is definitely
not what is expected. I know it was in the head when the plan was made
(conflict with the IPL). It is difficult to plan and stick to it at this time.
'
‘We have to adapt
to this time. We are still waiting for the final schedule. Only then can I
actually make a decision. That's why we have to wait. Let's see what happens. '
