Kane Williamson again turns down central contract with New Zealand Cricket
Former captain Kane Williamson has again rejected a central contract with New Zealand Cricket and likely will miss the Black Caps two-Test tour to Zimbabwe next month. Williamson also decided not to accept a central contract last year, to leave himself free to play in Twenty20 and other leagues around the world. He instead signed a casual contract last year and still played in nine of New Zealand's 13 tests in 2024, scoring more than 1,000 runs. Williamson was absent from the list of 20 contracted players released by New Zealand Cricket on Tuesday, along with Devon Conway, Finn Allen, Tim Seifert and Lockie Ferguson who also are playing in T20 leagues overseas. He is expected again to sign a casual contract. Allrounders Muhammad Abbas and Zak Foulkes, wicketkeeper Mitch Hay and spinner Adi Ashok are contracted for the first time in the absence of Tim Southee, who has retired, Ish Sodhi, Ajaz Patel and Josh Clarkson.

He is expected to have county commitments while New Zealand plays Zimbabwe in late July and early August. In a news conference in London last month, Williamson said that his future on a casual contract is 'just a work in progress and New Zealand Cricket have been great with working with that and I've been fortunate throughout.' The 20 contracted players were ranked on domestic and international performances over the past year. 'The contracts with Mitch, Muhammad, Adi and Zak reflect the incredible talent coming through our system,' New Zealand Cricket chief executive Scott Weenink said. 'These players have shown they can compete at the highest level and their hunger to represent the Black Caps is exciting. We're thrilled to see this group drive our team forward.'

'He was blindly pushing …on normal day I win that game': Magnus Carlsen on painful loss to D Gukesh
's shock defeat to 19-year-old Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh in Round 6 of the Norway Chess tournament triggered not only visible frustration from the five-time world champion but also a deep introspection on the direction of his chess career. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Carlsen, 34, lost a game he appeared to be dominating, his emotions spilling over as he banged the table, scattering pieces in disbelief. The Norwegian later admitted Gukesh's fighting spirit and youthful energy had made the difference — even though, by Carlsen's own assessment, it wasn't a game the teenager should have won. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. 'For a long time, he was just more or less blindly pushing,' Carlsen said on Monday. 'And then, yeah, on a normal day, of course, I win that game, and things look quite differently.' The top-ranked Carlsen acknowledged that while Gukesh may not have made the best moves technically, his persistence paid off. 'I remember being that age myself,' said Carlsen. 'Sometimes your energy, fighting qualities, and just optimism are bigger than the quality of your moves.' Gukesh's victory was a testament to his grit, and Carlsen didn't hesitate to praise him. 'He really fights very, very well, and he was there to take his chance, so he deserves credit for that,' he said. 'But that's the kind of chance I really, really have to put away.' The Norwegian star has increasingly expressed doubts about his interest in Classical chess, hinting at a shift toward faster formats like blitz, rapid, or freestyle chess. 'It's not that I cannot play Classical… it's just situations like yesterday, I'm just wondering, like, why am I doing this?' Carlsen admitted.

'Winning the Armageddon was kind of the best scenario for me,' Carlsen said. 'I discovered that move… it may have been played before, but I didn't know for sure.' Carlsen also hinted at skipping Norway Chess next year and emphasized the value of enjoying his time off the board — particularly with golf and family. 'I guess there's a lot of pain being a top sportsman,' he concluded.
