New Zealand will play three ODIs and T20Is each during the upcoming India tour.
In Williamson’s absence, Tom Latham will lead the Kiwis against India in three ODIs and as many T20Is.
Besides, seasoned pacer Tim Southee and bowling coach Shane Jurgensen will also be heading home after the Pakistan ODIs. While Mark Chapman and Jacob Duffy will replace Williamson and Southee in the squad for the India tour, Luke Ronchi will take over for Stead as head coach.
Batter Henry Nicholls and leg-spinner Ish Sodhi have been recalled for both ODI tours. Uncapped all-rounder Henry Shipley has earned a maiden call-up to the squad after impressive exploits in the domestic circuit.
"Henry's an exciting talent who we've had our eye on for a while," selector Gavin Larsen said. "He's taken his game to another level in the past 12 months, and we're delighted to see his progression given how valuable genuine all-rounders are in any cricket team. It's encouraging to see players putting their hands up in our domestic competitions and their performances being rewarded with selection for the national team.
"The tour will also present further opportunities for the likes of Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips, and Mark Chapman, who are hugely talented but still relatively inexperienced at international ODI level. It's also great to welcome back the familiar faces of Henry Nicholls and Jacob Duffy, who were with the ODI team in Europe in the winter and have been in good form domestically."
New Zealand are due to play two Tests and three ODIs in their upcoming tour of Pakistan, scheduled to be held from December 26 to January 14.
Subsequently, the BlackCaps will travel to India for a limited-overs series, slated to be played from January 18 to February 1. The squad for the T20I series against India will be named later.
