Following the busy home season, the Black Caps will travel to India for the three-match ODI series and five-match T20I series, followed by a five-match T20I series against South Africa at home. These games are really important for them to prepare for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
Rob Walter says Kane Williamson has the right to take time planning his season
Rob Walter told reporters, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo, "Kane, we're still in conversations as to what the summer is going to look like. He will play, no doubt about that. Just what and where is still in discussion. I think the reality is we're dealing with all the guys on casual contracts, actually in different positions from a playing point of view.”

He further explained, “Ultimately when things are operating the way they should, everyone's not fighting for their position but understands that competition for places is there. Ultimately you want your best crop of players in the park and in the squad.”
Walter signed off by saying, “They're all quality players. At the end of the day, there's going to be a quality player that's left out, whoever that may be. As you've heard me say many times before, the stronger the player that's left out, the better the system.”
