Change in format will help Kane Williamson regain form, says New Zealand coach Gary Stead
Kane Williamson had a poor season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) but New Zealand coach Gary Stead said a change in format from Twenty20s to Tests will help the 31-year-old rediscover form in next month's three-match series in England. Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Williamson has returned home from the IPL to attend the birth of his second child after managing 216 runs from 13 matches with a strike rate of 93.5, the worst among batsmen with a minimum of 100 runs. The New Zealand captain is set to return to Test cricket after overcoming a nagging elbow injury in the opening match against England at Lord's on June 2.
