LONDON: Skipper World Champion New Zealand Kane Williamson has withdrawn from the ‘One Hundred’ ECB’s first edition because of his recurring elbow injury which also forced him to miss a test match against England last month.
Williamson has a GBP 80,000 contract (USD 110,000) with Birmingham Phoenix and has lived in England after leading his team to Glory Test Championship against India.
“Williamson, New Zealand captain, has managed injury for the past six months, losing the ODI series against Bangladesh, the beginning of the IPL and the second test against England with the same problem,” ESPN Cricinfo reported.
The website also stated that Williamson will remain back for young children mentors on the side.
“He is still in England after the final world test championship and is expected to be involved with Edgbaston-based teams in mentoring capacity.”
