Time to move on after Brendon's exit, says brother Nathan

Acknowledging that the retirement of Brendon McCullum has left a huge void in the New Zealand cricket team, his brother Nathan said today it was time for the players to move on under new skipper Kane Williamson.
"He had a big impact (on the team), but we need to move forward. And where we are right now, Kane Williamson is the captain. It's an exciting team, (mix of) youth and experience, and I am really excited to be a part of it. The team has a real opportunity in the tournament," said the 35-year-old all-rounder in a media interaction here today.

"It's an exciting time. We are excited to play in such a big tournament and we are hopeful of doing well," said McCullum.
New Zealand will play their opening match of World T20 against hosts India in Nagpur on March 15.
Nathan, who is an experienced campaigner in the Indian Premier League with his ability to bowl tight off spin, said the key for his team would be to adjust to the conditions as fast as possible.
"We have played here before and everyone in this team has played in front of thousands of spectators, including in the Big Bash (in Australia). I enjoy it," said the Kiwi player.

"The number of players playing in IPL in this part of the world would benefit. The biggest challenge is to get used to the conditions. And the faster we do it the better.
"It's a tough format and it's a tough tournament. You have 14 teams and there are no easy games. The beauty of T20 is if you get on a roll then you can do really well in this tournament.
"For us, the first job is getting used to conditions in the next few days and the next part is the match against India. From then on it's the stepping stone to get better throughout the tournament," said the all rounder, who has played in all the previous five editions of the event that began in 2007.
