Wellington Home

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson on Thursday pulled out of the second Test against the West Indies in Wellington as he awaits the imminent arrival of his first child. The abrupt U-turn came just hours after batting mainstay Williamson had told head coach Gary Stead he would play in the match

New Zealand cricket team will fly home immediately after the country's Prime Minister announced everyone entering the country from midnight Sunday would have to self-isolate for 14 days.

A grieving New Zealand widow bathed and cared for her husband's decomposing body for several weeks, refusing to accept he was dead, police said today.

Chasing 315 for a win, India ended at 314 for nine with Ravindra Jadeja (66 not out) very nearly pulling off a sensational victory though he failed to take the visitors home in the end. India will now have have to win the remaining two matches in Hamilton (January 28) and Wellington (January 31).

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson says India change pitches at home according to their needs and therefore, curators in Auckland and Wellington must also prepare wickets that will favour the local side.

Brendon McCullum is hoping that the cold conditions in Wellington would work to the home side's advantage in the third Test against India.
