19 years old Williamson to make debut for New Zealand in Hamilton

19 years old Williamson to make debut for New Zealand in HamiltonKane Williamson (19), New Zealand all rounder, is all set to make his debut against Australia in the second Test in Hamilton.

The all-rounder had been a stand out this season in domestic cricket and deserved an opportunity to be involved at a higher level, Black Caps coach Mark Greatbatch said.

The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that Williamson is the only change to the team, which lost to Australia by 10 wickets in Wellington.

Greatbatch said, “Kane is an exciting young player and has scored a lot of runs in our domestic competition. This is a good chance for him to be involved in the Black Caps environment. Along with Mathew Sinclair, he gives us various options and balances in the side.”

The second test, which begins on Saturday, will also witness the return of Mathew Sinclair to the 13-man squad. (With Inputs from Agencies)
