Kane Williamson IND vs NZ 3d Mumbai Test: Before the third and last match of the three-match Test series being played against India, New Zealand suffered a big shock in the form of veteran batsman Kane Williamson. Like the first and second Test, Williamson will not be able to be a part of New Zealand in the third Test also. Williamson is undergoing rehab for a groin injury.
The third Test between India and New Zealand will be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from Friday, November 1. Giving information on behalf of New Zealand Cricket Board, it was told that Williamson will not take part in the third Test against India in Mumbai. After missing the Test series against India, Williamson is expected to return in the Test series against England.
A three-match Test series is to be played between New Zealand and England from 28 November. In the information given by the board, it was said that adopting a cautious approach, it was decided not to play Williamson in the Mumbai Test.
New Zealand head coach Gary Stead said Williamson had made good progress, but a cautious approach would give him time to become fully fit for the Test series against England.
Gary Stead said, “Kane continues to show good signs, but is not ready to join us yet. Things are looking good. We believe the best step for him is to remain in New Zealand and complete the final part of his rehab.” He has to concentrate, so that it will be good for him to go to England.”
The coach further said, “There is still a month left in the England series, so adopting a cautious approach will make it clear that we are ready for the first Test to be played in Christchurch.”
