From Checkpoint, 5:25 pm on 16 November 2022

The Black Caps captain Kane Williamson has lost his lucrative Indian Premier League contract after some poor form in T20 cricket.

Williamson was the Sunrisers Hyderabad captain and most expensive player last season - getting paid just under $3 million.

Speaking in Wellington today, Williamson says he was told a couple of days ago he was being let go but still wants to be part of T20 competitions. We're joined by sports reporter Felicity Reid.
