The 34-year-old, who sat out of the first Two Tests in Bengaluru and Pune, will not travel and instead will be working on his groin injury rehabilitation ahead of the three-match Test series against England starting from November 28 in Hagley Oval.

The Kiwis defeated Team India by eight wickets in Bengaluru and followed it up with a 113-run win in Pune to claim an unassailable 2-0 lead, and thus sealing a historic first-ever series victory on Indian soil.

바카라œKane continues to show good signs, but isn바카라™t quite ready to jump on a plane and join us,바카라 said New Zealand head coach Gary Stead.

바카라œWhile things are looking promising, we think the best course of action is for him to stay in New Zealand and focus on the final part of his rehabilitation so he바카라™ll be good to go for England.

바카라œThe England series is still a month away so taking the cautious approach now will ensure he is ready for the first Test in Christchurch.바카라
