Kane Williamson will depart the Indian Premier League and return home to New Zealand for the birth of his second child with partner Sarah Raheem.
His IPL side Sunrisers Hyderabad announced on social media that Williamson, their captain, would be leaving the tournament and returning home.
"Here's everyone at the #Riser camp wishing Kane Williamson and his wife a safe delivery and a lot of happiness!" the team wrote.
Williamson and Raheem have a daughter Maggie, who was born in late 2019.
Sunrisers are eighth on the table and must win their final match against Punjab Kings, while hoping other results go their way to make the playoffs.
The Black Caps skipper had been set to fly to England from the IPL for New Zealand's three-match Test series against England that begins on June 2.
