United States Blackcaps v India: NZ captain Kane Williamson ruled out of Twenty20 series against India

Blackcaps captain Kane Williamson will play no part in the upcoming Twenty 20 international series against India.
On Tuesday, NZ Cricket announced Williamson will sit out the three-match series - which starts in Jaipur on Thursday - to rest and prepare for the two test matches to follow. Veteran seamer Tim Southee will captain the side in his absence.
With the first test starting November 25, that provides Williamson almost two weeks of valuable recovery time off the back of a demanding T20 World Cup schedule.
The 31-year-old played through an ongoing elbow injury to lead the Blackcaps to their first T20 World Cup final, where his magnificent knock of 85 runs off 48 balls wasn't enough to prevent his side falling to an eight-wicket defeat to Australia.
The Blackcaps play three T20s in the space of five days in India, with the first test starting just three days after the third game.
Williamson will join the test specialist group already training in Jaipur - which inlcudes the likes of Ross Taylor and Henry Nicholls - as they focus on the first step in defending the Blackcaps' World Test Championship crown.
Indian counterpart and close friend Virat Kohli will also rest for the T20 series, as well as the first test. He'll return for the second and final test in Mumbai, with Rohit Sharma stepping in as interim captain.
Lockie Ferguson’s recovery from a right calf-strain continues to progress well and is expected to be available for selection for the T20 series.
Ferguson was ruled out on the eve of the T20 World Cup due to a calf strain, but has trained fully over the past week and now shapes as a likely starter for Thursday's series opener.
The squad is otherwise unchanged from the T20 World Cup.
Blackcaps T20 squad against India: Tim Southee (captain), Daryl Mitchell, Martin Guptill, Tim Seifert, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Jimmy Neesham, Kyle Jamieson, Todd Astle, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Adam Milne, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult.
