NZ Batter Kane Williamson Signs Up For Middlesex And London Spirit
Cricket World Cup Final: New Zealand’s premier batter Kane Williamson has signed up with both Middlesex and London Spirit for the 2025 cricketing summer in England. The long stint will ensure that Williamson, widely regarded as one of the greatest modern-day batters in the game, would call Lord’s as his home ground from May to September.
Williamson, who led New Zealand to an unforgettable runners-up finish in the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Final at Lord’s, will captain London Spirit in this year’s edition of The Hundred, making him the first direct overseas signing in the men's competition.
"We're thrilled to have Kane on board for this summer. For us to be able to make a direct signing of this calibre is truly exciting for London Spirit, and I am sure that he will be looking forward to captaining our talented side," said Fraser Stewart, London Spirit's general manager, in a statement.
