Mitchell Santner Becomes New Zealand White Ball Captain: Mitchell Santner has been appointed as the new captain of New Zealand’s ODI and T20 team. He will replace Kane Williamson, who stepped down from the captaincy of the Kiwi team in the white ball format after the poor performance of the Kiwi team in the T20 World Cup. Santner has played more than 100 matches for New Zealand in both T20 and ODI formats. Till now, he has commanded his team in 24 T20 and four ODI matches and was seen captaining against Sri Lanka only last month.
Mitchell Santner, who plays the role of an all-rounder player, said on getting the captaincy that it is a matter of pride for him. He said, “It is an honor to be given the captaincy of the national team. It was my childhood dream to play for New Zealand one day, but getting the captaincy of the team in two different formats is a matter of good fortune in itself.”
