New Zealand have appointed Kane Williamson as their captain in all three formats of the game.
He has led the one-day international and Twenty20 sides following Brendon McCullum's retirement, but Williamson's position now becomes official.

"It's certainly an honour," said Williamson, ranked by the ICC as the third best batsman in the world.
