Williamson was ruled out of the recently-concluded second Test against India which the Kiwis lost by 372 runs. BlackCaps head coach Gary Stead has said that it is unlikely that Williamson might go for surgery. “Kane's going along ok. Last time after the World Test Championship final and before the IPL and T20 World Cup was about eight or nine weeks. He loves playing for New Zealand - he hates the thought of missing any cricket, let alone test cricket for New Zealand," he added. New Zealand will play two tests against Bangladesh and then the side will travel to Australia for three ODIs and a T20 from January 30-February 8.
