'Hurt' Williamson Desperately Wants To Play For New Zealand: Gary Stead
New Zealand cricket team head coach Gary Stead feels the absence of the injured regular skipper Kane Williamson and the retirement of Ross Taylor will offer several players an opportunity to showcase their ability against South Africa in the two-Test home series beginning at Christchurch on February 17.
The Blackcaps announced a new-look 15-member squad for the opening Test with Williamson out with an elbow injury, and Taylor no longer part of the set-up having retired from Test cricket. The elbow injury has prevented Williamson from playing international cricket since December, and while there were reports that he would lead the side against the Proteas, he is still a few weeks away from complete recovery.
