New Zealand spinner Mark Craig believes that his side will not be the favourites in their upcoming series against England, which starts this month.
He said that the team would be looking to continue their form of the World Cup when they face a resurgent England team, insisting that the Brendon McCullum-led team would have to be at their best to beat England, especially on their home turf, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Craig added that the players would look to ride on the wave of public support that they received during the World Cup.
Craig had a breakthrough year in 2014 for New Zealand before being included in the side following the absence of both Daniel Vettori and Jeetan Patel for the West Indies tour.
Craig, who has played eight Test matches, has taken 31 wickets at an average of 39.58.
