Kane Williamson Joins Middlesex and London Spirit

New Zealand cricket star Kane Williamson has signed a dual contract to play for Middlesex in the County Championship and Vitality Blast, and for London Spirit in The Hundred for the 2025 season. Williamson, New Zealand's all-time leading Test run-scorer, brings a wealth of experience and is expected to participate in at least five County Championship matches and 10 T20 Blast games for Middlesex. He will also captain London Spirit in The Hundred, marking his debut in the tournament. This signing is seen as a significant acquisition for Middlesex, with the club's management expressing excitement about his impact, especially on younger players. Williamson, who previously played for Gloucestershire and Yorkshire, expressed enthusiasm about returning to English county cricket and playing at Lord's, a venue he deeply admires. He is set to arrive in May, following his commitments with the Karachi Kings in the PSL.
