Kane Williamson Steps Down from White-Ball Captaincy, Foregoes Contract for Family Time

New Zealand’s star batsman Kane Williamson has decided to forgo a national contract for the 2024-25 season and step down from white-ball captaincy to prioritize family time and pursue overseas opportunities. Williamson, considered one of the greats of modern-day cricket, will still be available for international cricket outside of January, when he plans to spend time with his family. This decision comes after New Zealand’s early exit from the T20 World Cup and allows Williamson to explore playing in various T20 leagues during the January window, when New Zealand has limited international commitments.
