(Reuters) -New Zealand will be boosted by the return of regular white-ball skipper Mitchell Santner and all-rounder Rachin Ravindra in this month's three-match Twenty20 series against England, but will be without key batter Kane Williamson, the national cricket body (NZC) said.
Santner and Ravindra both missed the T20 series against Australia earlier this month, with Michael Bracewell captaining the team. Ravindra was out due to a facial injury, while Santner was recovering from a recent abdominal surgery.
