Hyderabad, Mar 29: Kane Williamson, the New Zealand captain, will lead SunRisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2018, the franchise announced here on today.
The decision comes in the wake of the recent ball-tampering controversy that led to bans for David Warner and Steven Smith from the 11th edition of IPL.
"We are happy to announce Kane Williamson as the captain on Sunrisers Hyderabad for IPL 2018, - K Shanmugam, CEO, Sunrisers Hyderabad," the 2016 IPL winning franchise tweeted on Thursday.
Warner, rubbed out for a year by Cricket Australia, along with captain Steve Smith, is "not a bad person by any means" said Williamson.
