New Delhi. New Zealand, which defeated India in the first Test, has suffered a big setback before the second match. Kiwi team's number-1 batsman Kane Williamson will not even play the second test match. New Zealand Cricket Board has given this information. The board expressed hope that Kane Williamson will play the third test match of the series, which is to be held in Mumbai.
Kane Williamson has not come with the team on the India tour. When the Kiwi team left from New Zealand, it was said that Kane Williamson would reach India before the second Test match. Now before the second test match, the board has again given an update on Williamson's injury. According to this, Williamson has not been able to recover from the injury. Therefore the board does not want to take any risk.
Kane Williamson not being fit means that there is hardly any change in New Zealand's playing eleven for the second test. Earlier it was believed that upon Williamson's arrival, Will Young would have to sit out of the playing eleven. The second test match between India and New Zealand is to be played in Pune from 24th October. India has added Washington Sundar to its team for this match. The remaining members of the team will remain in the team.
New Zealand team: Tom Latham (captain), Devon Conway, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Tom Blundell (wicketkeeper), Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, William Oruc, Ajaz Patel, Ben Sears, Tim Southee. , Ish Sodhi (2nd and 3rd Test only).
