Kane Williamson will not travel to India for the final Test of the series. He will stay in New Zealand, where he will continue to recover from his groin injury, and hopes to be fit for the three-Test series against England that begins on November 28. According to New Zealand Cricket (NZC), this is a "cautious approach" so that Williamson is fully fit. In a release, the Head coach Gary Stead said: "Kane continues to show good signs, but isn't quite ready to jump on a plane and join us. While things are looking promising, we think the best course of action is for him to stay in New Zealand and focus on the final part of his rehabilitation so he'll be good to go for England. "The England series is still a month away so taking the cautious approach now will ensure he is ready for the first Test in Christchurch." Williamson suffered a groin injury in New Zealand's tour of Sri Lanka last month as a prep to the India series.

The first Test series victory in India for New Zealand came under the leadership of Tom Latham who took over the Test captaincy following the retirement of Tim Southee. They comprehensively won the first Test beating India by eight wickets when they bowled India out for 46 in the 1st innings. They then dismissed India for 156 in the first innings of the second Test to set up a win by 113 runs. Overcast conditions at Bengaluru made batting challenging while spin-friendly conditions at Pune, where Mitchell Santner claimed 13 wickets to help New Zealand complete a series win. The third Test is scheduled to begin on November 1 in Mumbai. This series defeat has narrowed India's lead at the top of the World Test Championship points table to 62.82%, with Australia sitting pretty at 62.50%. New Zealand's 2-0 lead sent them to fourth place with 50% points, which would have improved their prospects of making it to the WTC final next year.
