Tom Latham, newly appointed as the full-time captain of New Zealand's Test cricket team, is eager to make his mark as the team gears up for its upcoming tour of India. This marks Latham's transition from a 'caretaker' role to a leader with a distinct vision.

Latham, who has led the Black Caps in nine previous Test matches, officially took charge following Tim Southee's resignation last week. The team he leads will include Southee himself, embarking on the Indian tour that starts October 16.

Acknowledging the honor of his new position, Latham expressed excitement about leading a talented squad, combining experienced players and emerging talents, in what promises to be a challenging series against India. Matches will take place in key cricketing venues across Bengaluru, Pune, and Mumbai.
