Selection Headache For NZ As Williamson Locked In For First Test Vs England
World Test Championship Final: New Zealand head coach has confirmed that Kane Williamson will play in the first Test against England at Hagley Oval after coming out of a groin injury that kept him out of India tour, but has admitted that the No.2 ranked Test batter's return will create some selection headache.
It's a selection conundrum for Stead, as the most likely player to make way for Williamson is Will Young, who was the Player of the Series with 244 runs batting in the number three spot in the India series.
"Obvious Kane will come back into the side. He's a superb player as we know and that creates some selection headaches for (skipper) Tom (Latham) and I to get our heads around in the next day or so. Kane is one of the best in the world, so he will be playing somewhere in that line-up. It's just how we manage to shape the rest of the team around that," said Stead.
