India vs New Zealand Test series will begin on October 16 in Bengaluruq
New Zealand senior batter Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the first Test against India on Wednesday (October 9) due to groin strain. India is set to host New Zealand for three-match Test series, starting October 16 in Bengaluru.
In a press release New Zealand cricket board said that Williamson experience dis confort during the second Test in Sri Lanka and now he has to undergo rehabilitation before joining the BlackCaps for the second Test in Pune.

“The advice we’ve received is that the best course of action is for Kane to rest and rehabilitate now rather than risk aggravating the injury. We’re hopeful that if the rehabilitation goes to plan Kane will be available for the latter part of the tour. While it’s obviously disappointing to not have Kane available from the start of the tour, it provides an opportunity for someone else to play a role in an important series,” said Sam Wells, New Zealand selector.
In the absence of Williamson’s expertise to tackle the spinners, Kiwis chances to give a match to Rohit Sharma’s Team India, who is on a record-extending 18 series win at home, are severly dented and so do the World Test Championship (WTC) final qualification chances.
