Mumbai: New Zealand cricket announced that Kane Williamson will not travel to Mumbai for the final test against India. The Kiwi batter had already missed first two Test in the series. NZ wants him to be fit for home series against England.
“Kane continues to show good signs, but isn’t quite ready to jump on a plane and join us,” Gary Stead, New Zealand’s head coach said. “While things are looking promising, we think the best course of action is for him to stay in New Zealand and focus on the final part of his rehabilitation so he’ll be good to go for England. The England series is still a month away so taking the cautious approach now will ensure he is ready for the first Test in Christchurch.”
Williamson’s groin injury has kept him out of action for most of time. Though he missed the series against India, NZ didn’t let it affect their performance. Led by Tom Latham, they have taken invincible lead against toughest Test side in their own backyard.
