Kane Williamson has been handed the
reins of the New Zealand's Test side
after leading the national side at the
T20 WC earlier this year. New Zealand
Cricket made the official
announcement of the right-handed
batsman replacing Brendon McCullum,
who retired in February 2016, on
Thursday (April 28).
David White, the New Zealand Cricket
Chief Executive, said he felt that the
25-year-old is ready for the role.
"Kane has been a leader within the
team for a long time now and already
shown himself to be an extremely
capable captain," he said. "He's
respected by his peers and the wider
cricket community for his professional
approach both on and off the field, and
has a superb cricket brain.
"His drive to see the team succeed and
his passion for the game are what you
look for in a leader. He's ready for the
role and will only continue to grow."
