England in New Zealand: Kane Williamson to miss T20 series

New Zealand batter Kane Williamson will miss this month's T20 series against England but captain Mitchell Santner is back from injury to lead the Black Caps.

Williamson, who has not played international cricket since the Champions Trophy final defeat by India in March, is expected to return for the three one-day internationals against England that follow.

Santner has recovered from abdominal surgery, while all-rounder Rachin Ravindra is back after a facial injury kept him out of the recent T20 series defeat by Australia.

The three-match T20 series between New Zealand and England starts in Christchurch on Saturday, 18 October.
