“I’ve really enjoyed my time here in India so far. I’m enjoying the training sessions and the games. We haven’t really been outplayed or outdone as such. We’ve suffered because of our own fault and individual mistakes, and it is something we are working hard to fix in the games ahead,” said Williams.
