Williamson had been out of the team since the Champions Trophy final in March, he also missed the recent T20 series due to a minor medical problem.
At the same time, Smith has recovered from the stomach injury suffered in the first Test against Zimbabwe in August.Let us tell you, Kane Williamson has a casual contract with New Zealand Cricket, which means that he is more free to play in foreign T20 leagues and other cricket compared to players with central contracts. This is also a reason why Kane Williamson has not played a single match for New Zealand in the last 7 months. Along with him, Devon Conway, Finn Allen, Lockie Ferguson and Tim Seifert have also made a similar agreement.
