Williamson, who sustained the injury in the second test in Wellington, will be replaced by Central Districts batsman Will Young, who is set to make his international debut in the last test of the summer. Tim Southee, who captained the Black Caps in Williamson's absence in the latter stages of the second test victory, will become New Zealand's 30th test captain. Black Caps coach Gary Stead said Williamson had improved since the second test, but it wasn't worth the risk of playing him at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
