Kane Williamson's anticipated return to international T20 cricket during the Bangladesh series has been derailed by a sprained knee, leading to his exclusion from the T20 series against Bangladesh. Consequently, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) is now tasked with selecting a new captain for the T20 series, and Mitchell Santner has been appointed to fill this role. Alongside Williamson, another setback for New Zealand in the T20 series is the absence of Kyle Jamieson, who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
