- Kane Williamson, the former New Zealand captain, announced his retirement from T20 internationals, ending his 93-game career with the Black Caps.

- Career totals show Williamson amassed 2575 runs at an average of 33 with 18 half-centuries and a high score of 95 in 93 T20 internationals, captaining 75 times to the 2021 final and semi-finals in 2016 and 2022.
- NZC said the move gives the Black Caps T20 side clarity ahead of T20 World Cup preparations, and Scott Weenink praised Williamson's leadership, saying he earned the right to decide his career's end.
- At the domestic level, Williamson's next game is likely for Northern Districts against Auckland at Bay Oval, Tauranga starting Wednesday November, and he is committed to the West Indies three-Test series beginning in Christchurch on 2 December.
