In order to manage the workload of the players and support staff, New Zealand Cricket has confirmed that regular skipper Kane Williamson and Head Coach Gary Stead will not be touring India in the early part of next year. NZC revealed that Tom Latham will take over as captain of the ODI team in India in place of Williamson while announcing the squads for the upcoming tours to Pakistan and India.

Kane Williamson will however be leading the side for the Pakistan series but will not be travelling to India for the ultimate ODI series against India.

The iconic ICC World Cup 2023 is just months away and all the international teams will put their focus on the 50-over format after a long journey of T20 and the upcoming World Test Championship Finals.
