With the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 approaching, New Zealand is gearing up with a Tri-Nation series against Pakistan and South Africa. The BlackCaps, led by Mitchell Santner, arrived in Pakistan and will play their first match against the hosts on February 8 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. A hilarious fan interaction with Kane Williamson grabbed attention, where a Pakistani supporter jokingly requested him not to score against Pakistan but to hit a century against India.
Williamson, returning to ODIs after New Zealand’s 2023 World Cup semi-final exit, will be a key player alongside Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, and Rachin Ravindra. The Champions Trophy, starting February 19, will feature Pakistan, New Zealand, India, and Bangladesh in Group A.
