Kane Williamson & men to leave on May 15
In the latest update coming from the BLACKCAPS, New Zealand cricketers will be leaving for the UK on May 15. The Kiwis are scheduled to play two Tests against England before they take on the Men in Blue for the WTC final.
However, their opponent side will reach UK in June before the start of the tournament. The Indian contingent is likely to undergo mandatory quarantine in Mumbai before flying to England.
