New Zealand's most prolific run-scorer, Kane Williamson, has announced his immediate retirement from international cricket. The announcement came on Friday during the ongoing series against England. Widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the sport, Williamson steps away at a pivotal moment. His departure marks the end of an era for the New Zealand national team. The decision was described by the veteran player as the "right time" to conclude his international career. He leaves behind a legacy of record-breaking performances and leadership. The cricketing world now reacts to the loss of one of its most influential figures.
