Williamson steps down as New Zealand captain after T20 World Cup debacle

Hindustan Times  

By Ian Ransom Williamson steps down as New Zealand captain after T20 World Cup debacle - Kane Williamson has stepped down as captain of New Zealand's white-ball teams and opted out of a national contract for the 2024/25 season following the Black Caps' early exit from the T20 World Cup. Williamson's decision marks the end of an era for a New Zealand team which made the semi-finals of the previous three T20 World Cups and the 2021 final but ultimately missed out on a maiden white-ball title. Fast bowler Lockie Ferguson has also indicated he will not take up a national contract, New Zealand Cricket said on Wednesday, following the team's failure to make the Super Eight phase at the ongoing tournament. Fast bowler Trent Boult, who opted out of a national contract in 2022, confirmed last Friday he had played his last T20 World Cup following the team's elimination from the tournament.
