Will return from the home series against England next month
Kane Williamson can return from the home Test series against England. A three-match Test series is to be played between New Zealand and England from November 28.
New Zealand head coach Gary Stead said that Williamson is recovering, but is not ready to join us yet. We believe that the best step for him is to stay in New Zealand and focus on the last part of his rehab so that he can be fit for the England series. The coach further said that there is still a month left in the England series. In such a situation, he will get enough time to recover.
Williamson was injured during the recent Test series against Sri Lanka. He returned to New Zealand for rehab. The team was hoping that he would return in the Test series against India.
