Kane Williamson was one of the 12 players released by the Sunrisers Hyderabad on the IPL retention day ahead of the mini-auction happening in Kochi on December 23.  Former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody, who was Hyderabad’s head coach in the 2022 IPL, feels it will be interesting to watch how the franchise goes about things after releasing Williamson.

“Yeah, it’s going to be very interesting to see what the new management does at Sunrisers with regards to Kane. At the beginning of a major auction, you back him as your leader, everyone recognises that he’s one of the game’s great modern leaders. Yes, he had a poor season, yes, he had injury problems over the last 12 months,” said Moody on Star Sports.
