Before this, he played his last Test match against Sri Lanka in September this year. After this, the New Zealand team came to tour India, but due to growing strain, they could not play a single match of this series. Even after this, the New Zealand team defeated Team India badly by winning all three matches of the series.

No buyer found in IPL auction
Kane Williamson has not even taken the central contract of New Zealand, which means he is now the master of his own will, he will play when he feels like it and will not play when he doesn’t. Despite being away from Test cricket for such a long time, he still remains the number three batsman in the ICC Test rankings, which is no less than an achievement. Recently, when the IPL auction was organized, his name was shortlisted, but he did not find any buyer. Before this, Kane Williamson has played for many IPL teams, but this time perhaps he will not be seen in the world’s biggest league.
