Hamish was with the Test squad earlier in the tour and has been playing for the Leicestershire Foxes in the T20 Vitality Blast," added Stead.Tom Latham will captain the side in Williamson's absence.New Zealand had lost the opening game of the three-Test at Lord's by five wickets with former England skipper Joe Root scoring a superb unbeaten century, while Williamson returned below-par scores in both innings.IANS Nottingham For Latest Updates Please-
