Williamson, Southee Set To Play Their 100th Tests As Mitchell, Kuggeleijn Return For Australia Series
Captain Tim Southee: Captain Tim Southee and premier batter Kane Williamson are set to play their 100th Test matches during the upcoming Test series against Australia starting at Wellington later this month.
Southee and Williamson are on track to bring up their 100th Tests in the second Test against Australia at Hagley Oval, starting on March 8. The duo will join an exclusive club of New Zealand Test cricketers playing 100 Tests which features Stephen Fleming, Daniel Vettori, Brendon McCullum and Ross Taylor.
Southee and Williamson enter the series as New Zealand’s second all-time leading Test wicket-taker and all-time leading Test run scorer, respectively. Having progressed through the Northern Districts pathway and represented New Zealand together at Under 19 level, the pair also played their 50th Tests together, in 2016 against Zimbabwe.
