Williamson to Make Black Caps Return, Named for England ODI Series
Williamson returns after seven months out with a medical issue, having scored 425 runs in eight ODIs in 2025, as New Zealand prepares for a three-match series against England.
- On October 26, Kane Williamson returns to the New Zealand Black Caps ODI squad for the one-day international series against England in Tauranga after recovering from an unspecified medical issue.
- After an unspecified medical issue kept him sidelined earlier this year, Williamson missed New Zealand selection and has not played international cricket since.
- Career figures underline Williamson's status among New Zealand's leading batters with 173 ODIs, an average of just under 50, 15 centuries, and strong 2025 form after eight ODIs at over 60.
- Williamson's return strengthens the batting line-up, Walter said, `To have his skill, experience and leadership back in the group is fantastic.` The unit retains Ravindra, Conway, Chapman and Mitchell, with Latham and Young added.
- Nathan Smith's return adds seam depth after his abdominal injury earlier this year, while Zak Foulkes could effectively re-debut after his washout cap at Pallekelle after 21 overs.
