Kane Williamson to miss Mumbai Test as well
New Zealand have taken a “cautious approach” with Kane Williamson by ruling out the star batter from the side’s third and final Test against India in Mumbai, starting November 1.
Continuous rain forced the umpires to abandon play without a ball being bowled on Day 5.
Rain played spoilsport on Wednesday, the fifth day of the third and final cricket Test match, as it barred New Zealand from levelling the three-match Test series against South Africa at the Seddon Park here.
South Africa were struggling at 80/5 in their second innings with Faf du Plessis (15) and Quinton de Kock (15) at the crease.

Following the draw, South Africa clinched the three-match series 1-0 having won the second Test in Wellington by eight wickets.
