New Zealand cricket has suffered a blow with the news that captain Kane Williamson will miss the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series due to a persistent elbow injury. The star batsman has been managing the issue for some time, and medical staff have advised a period of rest and rehabilitation.
Williamson's absence will be keenly felt, both for his batting prowess and his leadership. The selectors are expected to name a replacement captain and make adjustments to the squad in the coming days.
