Captain Kane Williamson has been struggling with a knee injury he suffered during the opener of the 2023 IPL, where he didn’t land properly after leaping to stop a boundary. Since then he hasn’t featured for New Zealand in any formats, but managed to bat for 54 balls against Pakistan in their warm up fixture. He will miss the first match, but will make his official comeback against The Netherlands.
