If Kane feels like it&#39;s the right time to step in and take over that mantle then he&#39;ll do a wonderful job,&quot; the former ledt-arm spinner added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The former captain added that Williamson has learnt a lot from outgoing captain McCullum but he is going to lead the side a little differently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He&#39;ll do it differently to Brendon, who has been an amazing leader for the team over the last few years and taken them from strength to strength,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think (Kane) would have learned a lot from Brendon and it seems like an ideal time to move into that role.&quot; Vettori, who took 362 wickets from 113 Tests and 302 wickets from 291 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Agency<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
