ENG vs NZ 2nd Test: Before the second Test against England, the New Zealand team has suffered a major setback. Captain Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the second Test due to injury. Let us inform that on June 10, the second Test match of the series between New Zealand and England is going to be played at Edgbaston. Williamson suffered a left elbow injury during the first Test. New Zealand's team has to play the final of the World Test Championship against India. In such a situation, the Kiwi board does not want to take any threat to Williamson. Taking Williamson's injury more seriously, the New Zealand management has decided to keep the Kiwi captain out of the second Test. Tom Latham will now captain the New Zealand team in the second Test against England.

The first Test match played at Lord's was drawn, Williamson was flopped in both the innings in the first Test match. Apart from Williamson, star spinner Mitchell Santner has also been ruled out of the second Test. Santner has suffered a cut on his index finger, due to which he has to sit out of the second Test.

The injury of two players before the World Test Championship is certainly a big blow for the New Zealand team. Especially Williamson's injury at a time when the historic final is only 10 days away.

There is also a problem now on the forehead of the New Zealand team management. Williamson is the biggest player of the New Zealand team. His play in the final of the Test Championship is very important for the New Zealand team.
