This new addition joins their existing family: a daughter born in 2020 and a son welcomed in 2022.

Williamson was recently on paternity leave, missing the T20I series against Australia which New Zealand unfortunately lost 0-3. However, he is now back in the fold and ready to rejoin the team for the upcoming Test series against the same opponents, starting on February 29th, 2024.

Williamson’s recent form has been exceptional.

He was in scintillating form during the two-Test series against South Africa, finishing as the highest run-scorer with a total of 403 runs. This stellar performance was instrumental in securing New Zealand’s first-ever Test series victory over the Proteas.

He further cemented his legacy by scoring his 30th, 31st, and 32nd Test centuries during the South Africa tour. This achievement propelled him to the 11th position on the list of cricketers with the most Test centuries, just one shy of matching legendary former England batsman Alastair Cook in the top 10.

Williamson’s return to the Test squad, coupled with his recent record-breaking form, brings a surge of optimism to the New Zealand team as they face Australia.

Additionally, both Williamson and Tim Southee are on the cusp of a significant milestone, as they are set to join the elite club of players with 100 or more Test appearances for New Zealand in the upcoming series. Currently, only five New Zealanders have achieved this feat.

With his family growing and his cricketing prowess at its peak, Williamson is poised for an exciting chapter in both his personal and professional life.
