New Zealand's embarrassing skipper shirt blunder

As Black Caps skipper Kane Williamson steered his side to victory over Bangladesh in their T20 clash, eagle-eyed viewers noticed something not quite right.

The captain cracked an unbeaten 73 as New Zealand won by six wickets, but those watching on could have been forgiven for thinking it was someone else out in the middle.

Williamson's playing shirt proudly displayed the name 'Willamson' on the back. Woops!

The shirt makers can take some solace from the fact that it's not the first time this sort of thing has happened.

Usman Khawaja arrived in the Indian Premier League last year to find a 'Khwaja' shirt waiting for him.

Glenn McGrath was also victim to a spelling error in 2005.

Williamson registered his highest score in Twenty20 internationals and Colin de Grandhomme hit 41 not out from 22 balls as New Zealand surpassed Bangladesh's total with two overs to spare.
