Kane Williamson will miss the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh with injury
Black Caps skipper Kane Williamson will miss the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh with injury, coach Gary Stead said Thursday, while spinner Ajaz Patel was dropped despite his 10-wicket haul against India.
Williamson's absence was widely expected after a nagging elbow injury kept him out of the second Test against India, with Tom Latham again taking over as captain.
Selectors opted for a four-pronged pace attack of Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Neil Wagner, Kyle Jamieson and Matt Henry in the two-Test Bangladesh series, which begins in Mount Maunganui on January 1.
