Kane Williamson returns to the test
Kane Williamson, the captain of the New Zealand cricket team, has finally returned to Test cricket. He batted in the Test match that was played against England, where he also managed to show a good game. He also came close to his century but missed it. This has happened with Kane Williamson for the first time since 2018. Kane had completely missed the India and New Zealand series.
Kane’s return after an interval of almost two months
The test series between New Zealand and England has begun. Along with this, Kane Williamson has also returned. He’s been on the move for the past three months. Prior to this, he played his last Test match against Sri Lanka in September this year. After this, the New Zealand team came on a tour of India, but due to increasing tension, they could not play a single match in this series. Even after this, team New Zealand badly defeated team India by winning all three matches of the series.
Kane Williamson played an innings of 93 runs but missed a century.
While batting against England, Kane Williamson played a valuable innings of 93 runs in the first innings of the match. During this, he faced 197 balls and hit 10 fours, but could not complete his century and failed by seven runs. This is the first time since 2018 that Kane Williamson has been out with a score of 90. After this, whenever he has crossed the 90 mark, he has not returned without completing the century.
No buyer found in IPL auction
Kane Williamson hasn’t even accepted New Zealand’s central contract, meaning he is now the master of his own will, will play when he feels like it, and won’t play when he doesn’t. Despite being away from Test cricket for so long, he is still the number three batsman in the ICC Test rankings, which is nothing short of an achievement. Recently, when the IPL auction was organized, his name was shortlisted but he did not find any buyer. Before this, Kane Williamson has played for many IPL teams but this time he might not be seen in the world’s biggest league.
