Notably, Williamson had left the SunRIsers Hyderabad bio-bubble on May 18 and flew back to New Zealand to be his with partner and family for the birth of their second child. Williamson was leading SunRiers Hyderabad in IPL 2022.
The New Zealand Test skipper was replaced by Bhuvneshwar Kumar who was the stand-in captain for their final IPL 2022 league match against Punjab Kings on Sunday, May 22.
The result did not go SRH's in the final league match of IPL 2022 as they were unable to defend a 157-run total on a two-paced pitch at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Riding on Liam Livingstone's blitz, PBKS chased down the target with 4.5 overs to sprae.
SRH finished 8th in the 10-team league table after picking up 12 points in 14 matches.
Kane Williamson himself had an ordinary season with the bat, managing 216 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of less than 100.
The superstar batter will head to England from home for New Zealand's 3-match Test series in June. Williamson is returning to lead the New Zealand side after a lengthy absence due to an injury. Williamson will be up against his former captain Brendon McCullum who has taken over as the head coach of the England Test side.
