The T20 World Cup was not very special for Kane Williamson. The performance of this team under his captaincy was not very good. Not only this, Williamson did not score many runs from his bat. The right-handed batsman was able to score only 28 runs in three innings of 4 matches.

Now the New Zealand team management will hardly give priority to Williamson (Kane Williamson) in limited overs cricket. However, this 33-year-old cricketer will be seen playing in different T20 leagues of the world. Recently it has been learned that he will participate in the South Africa T20 League next year.

“There are many interesting leagues being played around the world right now, the South African T20 League is one of the best. Unfortunately, participating in it means rejecting a central contract. However, my priority will still be to play for New Zealand.”
