Mitchell Santner Appointed As New Zealand’s New White-ball Captain
T20 World Cup: Left-arm spin all-rounder Mitchell Santner has been appointed as New Zealand’s new white-ball captain. Santner will be taking over the leadership role from Kane Williamson, who stepped down following New Zealand’s group-stage exit from Men’s T20 World Cup in June.
Santner previously led New Zealand in 24 T20Is and four ODIs, and will begin his full-time captaincy tenure through the upcoming T20I and ODI series at home against Sri Lanka, starting with the series opener in the shortest format happening at Bay Oval on December 28. It will be followed by New Zealand playing an ODI tri-series in Pakistan in February, followed by the ICC Champions Trophy and a home T20I and ODI series against the same opposition.
“It's obviously a huge honour and a privilege to be asked. When you're a young kid the dream was always to play for New Zealand but to have the opportunity to officially lead my country in two formats is special. It’s a new challenge and I’m excited to get stuck into the important period of white ball cricket that we have ahead of us.”
