Kane Williamson has stepped down as captain of New Zealand’s Test team with Tim Southee to replace the 32-year-old in a move that brings to an end a hugely successful stint in charge of the Black Caps.
Williamson, who led his side to the inaugural World Test Championship last year, passes the baton to Southee after leading New Zealand in 40 matches for a 55% winning record of 22 wins, with 10 defeats and eight draws also to his name.
