(More Cricket News)Jamieson will thus join his skipper Kane Williamson, who has also decided to miss the T20Is to prepare for the two-match Test series, starting on November 25. "We decided through talking with Kane and Kyle that they won't play in this T20 series," coach Gary Stead was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz. New Zealand, who had lost the T20 World Cup final on November 14, hardly got any time to regroup as they face India in the opening T20I in Jaipur on Wednesday (November 17). New Zealand had defeated India by eight wickets in the final of the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship in Southampton, England in July this year.
