India, March 9 -- New Zealand legend Kane Williamson was ruled out of the second innings of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final against India at the Dubai International Stadium. Williamson will not take any further part in the final, informed the New Zealand Cricket Board before India's chase began on Sunday. Mark Chapman replaced him in the field.

"Kane Williamson will not field in the second innings of the Champions Trophy final after picking up a quad strain while batting. Mark Chapman has taken his place in the field," NZC said in a statement.

Williamson was dismissed for 11 off 14 balls earlier in the day. He provided a return catch to left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav while trying to push a single too long on.
