Kane Williamson's injury struggles seem never-ending as he is not likely to take any further part in the remaining T20I series vs Pakistan. The New Zealand skipper suffered a hamstring injury in the 2nd game of the series.
"With the test matches so close as well and in the big scheme of things (they are) a higher priority I think we'll try and make sure he's right for that," coach Gary Stead said on Monday.
Williamson was already set to miss the 3rd T20I on Wednesday but it now seems that he won't be available for any of the last 3 games.
Tim Seifert is expected to replace Williamson in the playing XI, with Stead indicating Seifert was already set to replace Devon Conway as wicketkeeper at some stage in the series.
The 33-year-old scored a 15-ball-26 in the 2nd T20I before he had to retire hurt following a hamstring injury. New Zealand won the game by 21 runs and lead the 5-match T20I series 2-0.
