New Zealand captain Kane Williamson will be sidelined by an elbow tendon injury for at least two months, coach Gary Stead said on Tuesday , ruling him out of January's two-test home series against Bangladesh.

"Kane's going along okay," Stead told reporters from Mumbai on the eve of the squad's return home."I said right from the start, I expected it to be a sustained period of time.Stead said surgery on the joint was unlikely, but he was also reluctant to predict that Williamson would be fit to face South Africa in two tests in February and March.

"Kane's doing it tough, don't get me wrong. He hates the thought of missing any cricket, let alone test cricket for New Zealand."
