Napier [New Zealand], New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the third and final T20I against India in Napier due to a pre-arranged medical appointment.
Auckland Aces batsman Mark Chapman will join the T20I squad in Napier today.
Coach Gary Stead said the medical appointment had nothing to do with Williamson’s historic elbow complaint.
“Kane has been trying to get this booked in for a while now, but unfortunately it has not been able to fit into our schedule,” Stead said.
“The health and well-being of our players and staff is paramount, and we look forward to seeing him in Auckland.”
“He is a quality player who offers good versatility in the order,” he said.
India is currently leading the three-match T20I series by 1-0. After the first match was abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled, India defeated the Kiwis by 65 runs in the second T20I. Star batter Suryakumar Yadav (111* off 51 balls) and batting all-rounder Deepak Hooda (4 wickets for 10 runs) were the stars of the match
