Kane Williamson of New Zealand walks to the nets during a New Zealand Test Squad training session at Basin Reserve on December 04, 2024 in Wellington, New Zealand

Kane Williamson is set to join Karachi Kings after getting picked in the supplementary round of the PSL 2025 draft. The former New Zealand captain was snubbed in the main rounds.

Williamson will be involved in his maiden Pakistan Super League appearance as he joins David Warner and soon-to-be captain Shan Masood at Karachi Kings. However, in a surprising turn of events, the right-handed batter was snubbed in the main rounds of the PSL 2025 draft.

Williamson, who had registered himself in the opening Platinum category of players, didn’t get drafted by any of the six teams. 10 other players from the same bracket including compatriots Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, Finn Allen and Mark Chapman got selected in the opening round of the day.
