New Zealand will continue to miss the services of batting legend Kane Williamson as he is set to miss the second Test match against India, beginning on October 24 in Pune. Williamson continues to recover from a groin strain because of which he also missed the opening Test that New Zealand won by eight wickets.
Williamson had already not travelled to India with the squad as he he was recovering from the injury picked up during the tour of Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, New Zealand are leading the three-match series 1-0 after overpowering India in the first match.
