Black Caps vs India: NZ captain Kane Williamson shows 'certainly encouraging' signs of returnPHOTOSPORT Kane Williamson picked up a bat on Thursday for the first since being struck down with a viral illness. Apart from actual confirmation Kane Williamson was going to play, it was everything New Zealand cricket fans wanted to hear about the Black Caps captain ahead of the third test against India in Indore. Black Caps bowling coach Shane Jurgensen said it was "looking positive" and indicated a call on the skipper's availability would be made tomorrow, while McMillan also stopped short of guaranteeing anything. "Obviously as captain he is a key member of our side and also with the bat at No 3, it's a key position. It is something we are normally used to seeing in India but with this rain around we'll keep a close on it."
