Kane Williamson withdraws from The Hundred

LONDON: New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has decided to pull out of The Hundred tournament — where he was contracted with Birmingham Phoenix for 80,000 pounds — due to an elbow injury. Williamson had decided to stay back in England to play The Hundred even as the New Zealand team — which defeated India in the World Test Championship final at Southampton recently - had returned home. But the elbow injury the Black Caps skipper has been managing for the last six months — which forced him to miss an ODI series against Bangladesh, the start of the IPL and the second Test against England - is reported to be the reason for Williamson's pull-out of the tournament.
