Will Young named in New Zealand Test squad after Williamson retirement
Will Young has been added to New Zealand's Test squad to replace retiring record run‑scorer Kane Williamson for the remaining two matches in England. The 27‑year‑old all‑rounder earned his call‑up after strong domestic performances for Wellington.
Young will debut in the series at Lord's, joining veteran bowlers Tim Southee and Neil Wagner. His inclusion aims to bolster New Zealand's batting depth as they seek to maintain a series lead.
Coach Gary Stead praised Young's adaptability and readiness for the challenge.
