Williamson kept himself out of the central contract

Former New Zealand cricket team captain Kane Williamson has excluded himself from the central contract for the upcoming season. But despite this, he will be seen playing in the upcoming 8 Test matches for his team. After this, it will be decided whether he will now serve New Zealand or not.

However, some people believe that his decision to step down from captaincy will have a positive impact on his cricket career. Along with this, he can make a great contribution to his team as a batsman.

This is how his captaincy career went

If we talk about Kane Williamson's cricket career, then as a captain, he has led the team in 40 Test matches and the team has won 22 Test matches out of these, while the Kiwi team has faced defeat in 10 matches, while 8 matches have proved to be draws. Talking about ODI cricket, the Kiwi team has played 91 matches under Kane's captaincy and has won 46 of them, while it has faced defeat in 40 matches. While talking about T20, he has led the team to win 39 out of 75 matches and the team has faced defeat in 34 matches.
