    The Black Caps will again be without their captain for the second and final test against Zimbabwe starting tonight in Bulawayo

    The Black Caps will again be without their captain for the second and final test against Zimbabwe starting tonight in Bulawayo


    Tom Latham, who missed the first test with a left shoulder injury, has failed a fitness test on the eve of the second test.

    The Black Caps have called in T20 international batsman Bevon Jacobs as batting and fielding cover from Johannesburg where he'd been playing cricket.

    Spinner Mitchell Santner will again captain the side in Latham's absence.
