Kane Williamson, a New Zealand great for more than a decade, has decided to let go of central contract for the 2024-25 season in order to pursue overseas playing opportunities, especially in the month of January. Williamson, who led the Black Caps in 166 white-ball matches (91 ODIs and 75 T20Is), has also decided to move on as skipper in coloured clothing for New Zealand to prolong his international career. The move was the ripple effect of New Zealand's T20 World Cup debacle where the 2021 finalists were knocked out in the group stage itself.
