Latham Ruled Out Of First Test Against Zimbabwe, Santner To Lead New Zealand
New Zealand Cricket: New Zealand Test captain Tom Latham has been ruled out of the first Test against Zimbabwe with a shoulder injury. In his absence, New Zealand limited-overs captain Mitchell Santner will lead the side and will become the 32nd captain of the country's Test team.
Latham suffered an injury while fielding during a T20 match for Birmingham earlier this month and has not recovered sufficiently to be included in the eleven for the series opener in Bulawayo on Wednesday. He will remain with the squad with the hope that he will be fit for the second Test starting August 7.
Santner, who has 30 Test caps to his name, assumes the role fresh off a T20I Tri-Series victory in Harare, where New Zealand remained undefeated throughout the five-match series.
