New Zealand captain Kane Williamson once again showed true class as he celebrated his 29th birthday with one of the most wholesome scenes the cricket world has seen.
New Zealand are currently in Sri Lanka preparing for their first Test next week, and there was a moment during the first day of New Zealand’s three-day tour match against the Sri Lanka Board President’s XI in Katunayake that stole the social headlines.
A few Sri Lankan fans in the crowd brought a cake to the ground and got Williamson’s attention, who trotted over and had a nibble during a break for drinks.
He quickly posed for photos and videos before returning to take his place in the field.
A birthday treat yesterday for Kane Williamson! 🎂
