Kane Williamson returns for the Black Caps at the expense of Will Young as New Zealand take on England in the first Test at Hagley Oval .Perhaps the trick to winning a Test series in India is to switch captains and make it a left-handed opener.
“It’s nothing on what Youngy’s done, because he’s been fantastic over the last period of time,” said Latham, confirming the change and a debut for Wellington’s bowling all-rounder, Nathan Smith. “ having someone like Kane come back boosts your side with the calibre of player that he is. At the other end of the experience spectrum is Smith, who steps up for his first cap in a four-pronged seam attack. Matt Henry and Tim Southee lead it – the latter about to start his final series – with Will O’Rourke, who averages 19 with the ball from his first seven Tests, offering right-arm thud from a 6ft 4in frame.
