New Zealand (NZ) captain Kane Williamson has revealed the birth of his first child and it’s a Girl!

Williamson and wife Sarah Raheem welcomed a baby girl into the world. The Kiwis captain announced the news on his instagram.

He wrote:

“Overjoyed to welcome a beautiful baby girl into our family.”

Williamson missed the second test against the West Indies to be with Raheem as the pair awaited the birth, with the Black Caps batsman having flown back and forth between Wellington and Tauranga before returning to Tauranga to be with his wife ahead of the test.

Kane Williamson was not named in the squad to play Pakistan in the first Twenty20 at Eden Park on December 18, but was tentatively named in the squad for the clashes on Sunday and Tuesday.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has also congratulated the skipper in its tweet.

It's a girl! 👶

Congratulations to the New Zealand skipper ❤️
