Big setback for New Zealand as Kane Williamson out for at least two months
Zee News
New Zealand head coach Gary Stead has said that it is unlikely that Williamson might go for surgery.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson will be sidelined by an elbow tendon injury for at least two months, coach Gary Stead said on Tuesday, ruling him out of January's two-test home series against Bangladesh. The recurring injury also forced Williamson to miss the second test against India in Mumbai, where New Zealand went down by a record 372 runs on Monday to lose the series 1-0.
"Kane's going along okay," Stead told reporters from Mumbai on the eve of the squad's return home.
"I said right from the start, I expected it to be a sustained period of time. "Last time ... was about eight or nine weeks. I expect it's somewhere in that timeframe again."
