“Our international schedule has allowed for a bit of a break during the English summer and I was looking to come to the UK with my family, so when this opportunity arose it was a really exciting prospect,” Williamson said.
“The Home of Cricket is one of my favourite grounds in the world for so many different reasons. I’ve had so many incredible moments there.
“Every player in the world holds Lord’s in the highest regard. They have been able to maintain the tradition around playing there, and that’s what makes it unique to any other place in the world.”
