Cricket-Southee quits as New Zealand test captain, hands over to Latham
Tim Southee stepped down as New Zealand's test captain on Wednesday after their 2-0 defeat to Sri Lanka and handed the reins to opening batsman Tom Latham for the India series. Veteran pace bowler Southee has struggled for form since the home summer when he took six wickets at an average of more than 70 against a second-string South Africa and Australia.
