Return To Test Cricket Will Suit Kane Williamson's 'Game', Reckons Gary Stead
New Zealand head coach Gary Stead is confident that making a return to red-ball cricket will suit skipper Kane Williamson's game as well as temperament in the Test series against England starting next month.
After missing the entire home season in New Zealand due to a troublesome elbow injury, Williamson made his comeback to playing competitive cricket by captaining Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022. But he was unable to set the scoring charts alight, making just 216 runs at an average of 19.64 and strike rate of 93.50 in 13 matches before flying back home on Wednesday for the birth of his second child.
