Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson said the intention to play in next year's SA20 was the catalyst behind him declining the New Zealand central contract, but reaffirmed his commitment to play for his country in all three formats outside of the T20 league.

The SA20 is scheduled between January 9 and February 8, 2025, which clashes with the dates of the Super Smash in New Zealand. As per NZ rules, a player has to play in Super Smash if they are not on an international assignment to be eligible for a central contract.
"There's a number of great competitions during that time, but SA20 looks really exciting" Williamson said. "My priority still is, absolutely, playing for New Zealand. Think I might miss maybe a handful of games over a three-week period," he added.
