Cricket stumps may not be the same unadulterated wooden beasts they once were, but they are still awfully hard to be splintered on a whim. Well, apparently not for Lizaad Williams, who perfectly bisected the middle stump in Abu Dhabi on Friday in a three-wicket over, enroute to a thrilling four-fer.
Lizaad Buyron Williams was born on 1 October 1993 and is a South African cricketer who plays for Northerns. He began his international career with South Africa in April 2021.
Lizaad Williams has played in two major cricket leagues: the Mzansi Super League T20 in South Africa and the Indian Premier League (IPL). These leagues have helped him gain experience and show his skills on a larger stage.
Lizaad Williams played in the Mzansi Super League T20. He was part of the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants for the first edition in 2018. In 2019, he joined the Jozi Stars team for the second season.
