Kane Williamson announces retirement from T20 internationals’ – SUCH TV
Former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson announced his retirement from Twenty20 internationals on Sunday, but he will play for the Black Caps in the Test series against West Indies.
The 35-year-old batsman has played 93 T20Is for his country since making his debut against Zimbabwe in 2011, captaining the side on 75 occasions and leading them to the World Cup final in 2021 and semi-finals in 2016 and 2022.
“It’s something that I’ve loved being a part of for a long period of time and I’m so grateful for the memories and experiences,” he said.
“It’s the right time for me and the team. It gives the team clarity for the series moving forward and ahead of their next major focus, which is the T20 World Cup.
“There’s so much T20 talent there and the next period will be important to get cricket into these guys and get them ready for the World Cup.”
He scored 2,575 runs in T20 internationals with 18 half-centuries, including his 85 in a losing cause in the T20 World Cup final against Australia in 2021
New Zealand cricket said Williamson, who no longer has a central contract, was open-minded about his future in one-day internationals and would definitely play in the three-test series against West Indies in December.
“Kane’s performances as a player and his service as captain of the T20 side have been nothing short of immense,” said NZ Cricket chief executive Scott Weenink.
“His runs in all conditions around the world reflect the world-class batsman that he is and are equally matched by the influence of his leadership on and off the field.
“With Kane committed to play the West Indies test series in December, I’d encourage all Kiwis to take the opportunity to get out and witness one of our greatest ever cricketers play.”

The Washington Commanders did not try to hide their game plan for Jaxson Dart — they wanted to “go out hitting.”
That’s what “Hard Knocks” cameras caught head coach Dan Quinn telling his team as they prepared to face the New York Giants and the rookie sensation, who has been checked for five concussions and diagnosed with one since the preseason began.
It is no secret that Dart uses his legs as a weapon, but the rookie has probably taken one too many hits. Quinn pointed out a New England Patriots linebacker’s crushing blow on Dart two weeks ago in Dart’s return from a concussion.

“When he’s out here, he is a running back first,” Quinn said. “This is a good hit by Christian Elliss on the sideline, all right? He is not looking to go down and get in the slide. We got to go out hitting, fellas.”
Dart scoffed at Quinn’s comments, much like he has to other concerns about the hits he has taken this season, stating their game plan is nothing he hasn’t seen before.
“I mean, [Georgia coach] Kirby Smart said the exact same thing every time he played against me, so did [former Alabama coach] Nick Saban, so did every coach that I played in college,’’ Dart, an Ole Miss alum, said Wednesday after practice, via SNY. “This is nothing new. This isn’t like a new thing that’s been brought up in my career.”

JOSH ALLEN REFLECTS ON GROWTH HE’S MADE SINCE JOINING BILLS AND BECOMING EXPECTANT FATHER
Commanders defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. echoed Quinn’s sentiments.
“The quarterback is a very competitive dual-threat guy,’’ Whitt said in a meeting. “He will try to run the ball like a running back. He will try to run you over. He will try to stiff-arm. He doesn’t really run out of bounds. He doesn’t slide a whole bunch. We can get the ball off of him. The ball is life, it is air, and we need it.”
The Commanders went on the road to take down the Giants, 29-21, even with Marcus Mariota at the helm. Dart’s 55.6 completion percentage was his lowest mark of the season, but he did run nine times for 63 yards.

Dart has garnered an even 400 yards on the ground on 80 carries, seven of which have resulted in touchdowns. He will surely look to add to those numbers against a stout Minnesota Vikings defense Sunday in New Jersey.
