Kane Williamson prone to be out of motion for two months with elbow harm

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson is prone to be out of motion for at the least two months with an elbow tendon harm, Black Caps coach Gary Stead has hinted.
A report in stuff.co.nz claimed that Williamson is prone to return solely subsequent 12 months for the two-Test collection in opposition to South Africa beginning February 17 in Christchurch.
Williamson was dominated out of the second Test in opposition to India on the morning of the primary day with the nagging harm and Stead confirmed on Tuesday that he’s prone to sit out at the least eight or 9 weeks though is likely to be spared of any surgical procedure.
“Kane’s going along ok,” Stead stated of the captain and about his harm.
“Last time after the World Test Championship (remaining) and earlier than the IPL and T20 World Cup was about eight or 9 weeks.
“I expect it’s somewhere in that time frame again. We’re trying not to put time frames on it at this stage.”
New Zealand will face-off in opposition to Bangladesh for 2 Tests, the primary of which begins on New Year’s Day in Mount Maunganui, after which journey to Australia for 3 ODIs and a T20 from January 30 to February 8 earlier than making ready for the primary Test in opposition to the Proteas.
“I think surgery is unlikely,” Stead stated of remedy for the harm.
“All that surgical procedure would do is be sure that rehab is finished. If we don’t have to chop a tendon, our alternative will not be to do this.
“Kane’s doing it tough, don’t get me wrong. He loves playing for New Zealand ? he hates the thought of missing any cricket, let alone Test cricket for New Zealand,” the coach added.
