Kane Williamson resigns as captain: New Zealand cricket team’s star batsman Kane Williamson has taken a big decision. After the failure of the Kiwi team in the T20 World Cup 2024, he has given up the captaincy of white ball cricket. This means that he will no longer lead New Zealand in the ODI and T20 formats as well. Not only this, he has also rejected the New Zealand Cricket Board’s central contract if reports are to be believed. The fans are scared by these two big decisions of the star batsman. He fears that he may take a big decision after the T20 World Cup failure.
Kane Williamson has stepped down from the Test format captaincy ahead of ODIs and T20s. His current age is 33 years. He also participates in the IPL with the New Zealand cricket team. As such, he is loved by Kiwi fans as well as in India. People constantly ask if their next plan is for retirement. If you have the same question, let me tell you that they have not discussed this issue so far. Currently, he will continue to feature as a player for New Zealand in all three formats.
