Kane Williamson and Michael Bracewell will pass the next two -test tour in Zimbabwe with the blessing of New Zealand cricket, while Paceman Ben Sears has been excluded from a side injury.

Rob Walter, who replaced Gary Stead as coach last month, named his first Tuesday’s test team, giving a call for a new fast attack without catching Matt Fisher and remembering experienced hands Ajaz Patel and Henry Nicholls.

“Kane and Michael were ahead with New Zealand’s cricket for their availability for this tour during the contracting process,“Walter said in a news announcement.
