NZ captain Williamson out of second test against India

(Reuters) – New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the second cricket test against India starting today in Kolkata with a virus, New Zealand Cricket said.

Former captain Ross Taylor will lead the side at Eden Gardens instead. New Zealand are 1-0 down in the three-match series.

Williamson did not train with the team on Thursday after becoming ill but initial indications were that he might be able to play.
