New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is likely to be out of action for two months with a recurring elbow injury that also kept him out of the 2nd Test against India at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Williamson will miss the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, starting January 1. However, the latest update means the Kiwis will be without their regular captain in the series against Australia and South Africa. The Black Caps head coach Gary Stead has confirmed the same, however, mentioned that Kane Williamson’s return date cannot be confirmed. In the shorter forms of the game it’s more manageable, in Test cricket it’s tougher,” Stead concluded.
