Former Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum believes current skipper Kane Williamson has lost some of his love of captaincy.
McCullum questioned some of Williamson's tactics during the Black Caps' fielding effort against Australia yesterday, especially when Williamson turned to Tom Blundell to bowl, calling that particular decision "staggering" and arguing that the Black Caps "just rolled over".

Today, McCullum expanded on his critique of Williamson's captaincy, believing his successor as captain isn't enjoying the role as much as prior years.
"He's been a slightly reluctant leader at times and I just noticed a bit of a trend where he doesn't look to me as though he's really enjoying the role as much as what he has in the past. And that can be a build-up of many things and playing Australia in Australia can be one of them," McCullum said on Channel Seven.
