Kane Williamson OUT As New Zealand Name Squad For India Tests

New Zealand have announced the squad for the two-match Test series against India. The Kiwis will be without their talismanic batter Kane Williamson, who picked up an injury during the England tour and continues to recover. The hosts, however, will see the return of Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, who missed the ODI series for different reasons. Ravindra dislocated his shoulder during a shoot in September, while Conway suffered a concussion after colliding with Matt Henry during the pre-series camp.

New Zealand have also added Tom Blundell to the squad despite fitness concerns. Blundell is recovering from a quadriceps injury; however, he is expected to be fit before the series opener on November 19. The Kiwi squad looks very similar to what they played in England during the 2-1 series win, with Will O'Rourke (workload management), Ben Sears (ankle injury) and Zak Foulkes (hip injury), as exceptions.

New Zealand Squad: Tom Latham (captain), Tom Blundell (wicketkeeper), Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Nathan Smith, Blair Tickner, Will Young
