Did kane williamson really feel like he was not up to the mark
I have been following KW for a long time and the first thing that I have understood from his nature is that if he feels like he is holding up someone else's position ,he would be the first to selflessly give up his position.
However the way he has handled his retirement from all formats seems so strange and sudden . I remember he gave it his all after a ACL tear to cone back for the 2023 ODI wc. Even after the 2024 t20 wc when asked about his retirement plans , he said he would love to continue and also expressed interest in the 2028 olympics and 2027 ODI wc . If he had felt he was mot up to the standard ,he would have retired then and there ,not just skip t20 series one after another and just before the squad selection declare that he is retiring from the format .
Same thing for tests . He is the most passionate about this format and to quit do suddenly in the middle is very intriguing.
I might be reading too much into it but do you guys think that change in head coach from Stead to Walter played any role like maybe they had their own differences just like Kohli had with his new coach.
