New Zealand reached 231-9 at stumps on a rain-shortened day one of the first Test against the West Indies Tuesday after Justin Greaves triggered a middle-order collapse with the wicket of Kane Williamson.

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma reflected on how New Zealand's 3-0 win over India last year has served as a case study for his team ahead of the first Test in Kolkata.

Kane Williamson announced his retirement from T20Is earlier in November and will skip the ODI series against the West Indies, which commences in Christchurch on November 16.

Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan praised New Zealand great Kane Williamson, who has announced his retirement from T20I cricket.

He captained New Zealand to the final of the 2021 T20 World Cup - where he scored 85 in a losing cause against Australia - and to semi-final appearances in 2016 and 2022.

Kane Williamson said he's excited to return to the national setup for the first time since the 2025 Champions Trophy.

The veteran batter, 35, had been sidelined for the ongoing T20I series against England due to "minor medical issue" over the past month.

After being appointed as the strategic advisor of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), veteran New Zealand batter Kane Williamson said it's always a special feeling for him to be involved in the IPL.

Kane Williamson is currently on a casual contract with New Zealand Cricket (NZC) and his most recent appearance for the Blackcaps came in the 2025 Champions Trophy
