'Ive Given It My All': Williamson Brings Curtain Down On Illustrious New Zealand Career
ICC Cricket World Cup: New Zealand batting great Kane Williamson announced his retirement from international cricket on Friday, bringing the curtain down on a remarkable 16-year career during which he established himself as the country's highest run-scorer across formats and one of the finest batters of his generation. The 35-year-old departs as New Zealands leading international run-getter with 19,346 runs from 378 matches, including 48 centuries and six double hundreds. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players to represent the Black Caps, Williamson also played a pivotal role as captain during one of the most successful eras in New Zealand cricket. Williamson led the national side across formats between 2016 and 2024, guiding them to two ICC Cricket World Cup finals, three semifinal appearances and the historic ICC World Test Championship title in 2021. Having already stepped away from T20 Internationals last year, Williamson said the time had come to end his international journey completely. Ive thought about it for a while, but over the last few days its become clear now is the right time. Ive always felt a strong drive and hunger for international cricket, and I take pride in knowing Ive given it my all in every match Ive played for New Zealand. Continuing with anything less wouldnt be right, and I feel fortunate to step away on my own terms. I leave feeling optimistic about where this group is heading. Theres a huge amount of talent and a real desire to do something special with this New Zealand team, Williamson said in a statement released by New Zealand cricket. Reflecting on his association with the national side, he added that representing New Zealand had been the greatest honour of his career. Its a team I love, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of it for so long. It will continue to be dear to my heart, he said. New Zealand head coach Rob Walter paid tribute to Williamsons contribution, describing him as a player whose impact extended far beyond statistics. Anyone whos had the privilege of working with Kane understands he is a very special player and person. His numbers and batting skills speak for themselves, but its what he means to this Black Caps team, as well as world cricket, that will be his legacy. His impact on the culture and standards of this team will remain embedded in its DNA. Kane has always put the team first, and while were disappointed to see him go, were happy he is content with his decision, Walter said. Former New Zealand captain Sir Richard Hadlee also hailed Williamson as one of the defining cricketers of his era. Kane has been a wonderful player and a fine leader. He continually advanced his game to the highest level in all three formats and rightfully finishes as one of the best players of his generation. He was committed to improving every aspect of his game and became the architect of some of New Zealand crickets greatest moments. I thank him for everything he has contributed to the sport, Hadlee said. Williamsons career was decorated with numerous individual honours, including the ICC Cricketer of the Year award in 2015 and the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year accolade in 2019. He also won New Zealand Crickets prestigious Sir Richard Hadlee Medal a record four times. He was committed to improving every aspect of his game and became the architect of some of New Zealand crickets greatest moments.

Uri Youth Demand Jobs in NHPC Project
Idrees Bukhtiyar Srinagar, June 04: With construction activities recently commencing on the 240 MW Uri-I Stage-II Hydroelectric Project in north Kashmirs Uri area, local unemployed youth have urged the authorities to ensure adequate employment opportunities for residents of the region, saying the project should directly benefit the people living in its vicinity. The project, being developed by NHPC Limited on the Jhelum River in Baramulla district, is an extension of the existing Uri-I Hydroelectric Project. Designed with an installed capacity of 240 MW, it will comprise two generating units of 120 MW each and is expected to generate around 932 million units of clean electricity annually. The demand for local employment has gained momentum following the recent launch of major construction works by NHPC. Residents said that while they welcome the project as a significant infrastructure initiative, it should also contribute to addressing unemployment in the Uri area. We are happy that work on the project has finally begun. However, local youth have high expectations from NHPC. Preference should be given to educated and skilled youth from Uri in recruitment and contractual jobs, said a resident of Mohura area. Several unemployed graduates from Uri said the region has long contributed to the countrys energy sector by hosting major hydropower projects but local communities have not received adequate employment benefits. Many young people here possess technical qualifications and degrees but remain unemployed. This project can become a source of livelihood for hundreds of families if locals are given priority during various phases of construction and operation, said Abrar Ahmad, a local of Uri. Residents also appealed to the district administration and NHPC management to establish a transparent mechanism for hiring local manpower and contractors. We are not asking for special favours. We only want deserving local candidates to be considered first for jobs that match their qualifications and skills, a delegation of locals told Rising Kashmir. Social activists and community leaders also echoed the demand, saying large developmental projects should create economic opportunities for host communities. The Uri-I Stage-II project is expected to strengthen Jammu and Kashmirs power infrastructure while contributing to Indias renewable energy goals. Officials have said the project will play a key role in increasing clean energy generation and meeting growing electricity demand.
