Kane Williamson was not even a part of the first test match against India.
New Zealand won a Test match in India after a long gap of 36 years. In the first test match played in Bengaluru, the Kiwi team defeated India by 8 wickets. New Zealand started the three-match Test series with a bang. However, now New Zealand has suffered a big blow before the second match. Former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is also not available for the second Test match.
Williamson did not come to India even for the first Test match and is still in New Zealand. In such a situation, he is also out of the second Test match to be played in Pune from Thursday 24th October, because he is going through the process of rehab.
New Zealand Board gave a big update regarding Kane Williamson
The New Zealand Cricket Board issued a media release on Tuesday, October 22, informing that Kane Williamson is still undergoing rehab for a groin strain. Williamson was injured during the Test series against Sri Lanka. Due to this injury, he had to miss the Test match played in Bengaluru, as he was in recovery mode.
He remained in New Zealand to work on his recovery and is now out of the second Test and will remain in New Zealand during this period as well. The board can take a decision regarding him next week before the last Test match.
