http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Geoffrey-Wright-c67883 confident about Kane Williamson leading the Kiwis – Cricket News Update
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KS-Williamson-c1813’s leadership skills and said that the right-handed batsman has been given the responsibility because of his captaincy experience in county cricket.
The Black Caps’ regular skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 at Florida, which has ruled him out of the remainder of the limited-overs portion of the tour. The middle-order batsman’s participation
in the Test series is also doubtful.
New Zealand’s regular vice-captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BB-McCullum-c1129, is also not part of the touring squad as he needed some rest from international cricket.
In these circumstances, Williamson, who was handed over captaincy for the second T20, did not too badly, but the Kiwis lost that fixture.
In the first ODI of the series at Kingston tomorrow, the 21-year-old will become the youngest Kiwi captain, breaking Stephen Fleming’s record, who led the Black Caps at the age of 23.
Wright has admitted that Williamson is too young to lead an international side but the team management is not left with any choice in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 and McCullum.

"It's the sort of leadership thing you don't want to thrust on [Williamson] too early but, to be quite frank, he's probably had more captaincy experience than most of the players in the party so he was the obvious choice," Wright said.
In his short career so far, the right handed batsman has already scored four international hundreds and looks to be the future of New Zealand’s batting.
Wright, who is also a former Kiwi captain, shared that Williamson has led his County team in the past and hopes that the young batsman will deliver the goods for his country.
"He seems to enjoy it. And I thought he was very competent [in the Twenty20 game]. He's very young in his cricketing years and you don't want to throw too much at him. [But] he's had some experience with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gloucestershire-c785," the New Zealand
coach added.
