Kane Williamson will continue his pursuit of 10,000 Test runs after being named yesterday in New Zealand’s squad to play Ireland and England in May and June.
The squad features a shock omission from the England leg of the tour, Will Young left out in favour of Henry Nicholls.
The 19-man squad will play a one-off Test against Ireland starting May 27 in Belfast before a three-Test series against England starting June 4.
Williamson has 9,461 runs at an average of 54.7 in 108 Test matches, and said in December he was considering retirement.
“As you get to the latter stages (of your career) those thoughts certainly enter your mind,” said Williamson, who added his future commitment to the Black Caps would be “series by series”.
