McCullum also had words full of praise for Williamson and feels he is the right man for New Zealand, who can take the side to glory. "I think they’re really well-led by Kane Williamson, someone who is a fantastic embodiment of what it’s like to be a Kiwi and he’s got a wonderful group of people around him.
