New Zealand cricket star Kane Williamson has announced his retirement from T20 internationals, ending a remarkable career in the shortest format. As New Zealand’s second-highest T20I run-scorer with 2,575 runs from 93 matches, Williamson led the Black Caps to the 2021 T20 World Cup final and multiple semi-finals. The 35-year-old, who stepped down as white-ball captain earlier, plans to reduce his international workload to focus on family and global T20 leagues. He will skip the upcoming West Indies limited-overs series but remain available for the December Test series.
