    Williamson Turns Down NZ Central Contract, Relinquishes White-ball Captaincy

    By IANS News June 19, 2024 • 09:38 AM View: 4238
    NZC CEO Scott Weenink: Kane Williamson has turned down a central contract for the 2024-25 year. He also stepped down from the white-ball captaincy role to extend his international career, the New Zealand Cricket said on Wednesday.

    The announcement follows New Zealand's disappointing T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, where they failed to advance to a semifinal in a men's World Cup for the first time since 2014.

    "Helping push the team forward across the formats is something I’m very passionate about and something I want to keep contributing towards,” Williamson was quoted by NZC. "However, pursuing an overseas opportunity during the New Zealand summer means I’m unable to accept a central contract offer."
