Kane Williamson announced his retirement from all formats of international cricket following the Lord’s Test against England in June 2026, bringing an end to a remarkable 16-year international career. He finished as New Zealand’s highest run-scorer across all formats with 19,346 runs and accumulated 48 centuries and 110 half-centuries. Williamson also holds the national record for the most Test centuries with 33. As captain, he led New Zealand to several historic achievements, including victory in the inaugural ICC World Test Championship in 2021 and appearances in the finals of major ICC tournaments. His consistency, leadership, and sportsmanship made him one of cricket’s most respected figures.
