Kane Williamson Announces Immediate Retirement From International Cricket After 16-Years

The Kiwi legend decided to hang up his boots mid-way through the England tour, bringing his incredible 16-year career to a close.

Widely regarded as one of New Zealand’s greatest-ever cricketers, the 35-year-old leaves the game as the country's highest run-scorer across formats.

The 35-year-old batter made his debut in the longest format against India in November 2010 in Ahmedabad, and played 110 Tests in all, scoring 9,515 runs at an average of 54.06.

The 35-year-old made nearly 10,000 runs and 33 hundreds in 16 years as a Test cricketer, and captained the side in 40 matches, including to World Test Championship triumph in 2021.
