ENG vs NZ Test: Big blow to New Zealand ahead of the second Test, Captain Williamson out.

Ahead of the second Test between England and New Zealand, the New Zealand team has suffered a setback.

Actually, team captain Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the second Test. He has been found corona positive a day before the match.

In his absence, New Zealand will now be captained by Tom Latham at Trent Bridge. However, Hamish Rutherford has been included in the squad as his replacement.

New Zealand’s head coach Gary Stead said on the occasion that “Kane’s compulsion to withdraw before the second Test on the eve of such an important match is disappointing.” How disappointed he will be.”

Hamish was with the Test team before the tour and was playing for Leicestershire Foxes in the T20 Blast.

ENG vs NZ Test: Williamson failed in the first test.

The first Test against England was not easy for New Zealand. The team had to face defeat by 5 wickets in that Test at the hands of England. New Zealand’s batting was completely flopping in that match.

While the team could score only 132 runs in the first innings, New Zealand could only manage 285 runs in the second innings thanks to Daryl Mitchell’s 108 runs.

Kane Williamson failed in both the innings and was dismissed by debutant Matt Pats. He scored 2 runs in the first innings and 15 runs in the second innings.

Due to being corona positive before the second test, he will now have to isolate for 5 days and it is expected that he will return once again in the third test starting on June 23.

Rishabh Pant became the youngest wicketkeeper to lead India in international cricket and broke the record of MS Dhoni.

Rishabh Pant captained Team India for the first time in T20 International cricket, but his start was not good and he was defeated by 7 wickets at his home ground Delhi.

Of course, Pant’s debut as captain in international cricket was disappointing, but he definitely made a special record and broke the record of former Team India captain MS Dhoni.
