New Delhi. Kane Williamson has given such a blow to New Zealand cricket that it may take a long time to recover from it. Williamson has made it clear that he will not accept New Zealand Cricket’s central contract for the 2024-25 season. He has also given up the captaincy of the ODI and T20 team. Kane Williamson is included in the ‘Fab Four’ of modern cricket, which includes Virat Kohli, Joe Root and Steven Smith. Williamson is also the only captain to win the ICC trophy for New Zealand.
This decision of Kane Williamson is being linked to Trent Bolt. Bolt, who recently announced his retirement, had left New Zealand’s contract two years ago. After this, he focused on playing in T20 and T10 league cricket of different countries. However, during this time, whenever New Zealand had to play any big series or ICC events, Bolt returned for his national duty.
