New Zealand captain Kane Williamson ruled out of ODI series against Bangladesh due to elbow injury

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson will miss this month’s One-Day International series against Bangladesh because of an elbow injury, the Black Caps said on Tuesday.

The team’s medical manager Dayle Shackel said Williamson had a small tear in his left elbow that had been irritating him for months.

He said Williamson had attempted to manage the injury while still playing without success, forcing him to sit out the three-match Bangladesh ODI series, which begins on March 20.
