“There’s nothing concrete, with the postponement of the T20 World Cup announced only a day or two ago, no doubt there’s a lot of organising that needs to be done or any sort of decision is made, and I guess they are wanting to make sure that things are planned before speaking to players with any certainty,” he added.

Williamson has played 41 matches in the IPL. He has scored 1302 runs in the lucrative tournament at an average nearly 39. The Kiwi star has been a valuable player in the IPL over the years.
