Auckland: New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson wants to apologise to Jofra Archer after he was ubjected to "racial insults" by a spectator during the fifth and final day of the first Test against New Zealand at the Bay Oval here. "It's certainly against everything that we as Kiwis are about, and I certainly hope that nothing like that ever happens again," Williamson told Stuff.co.nz. "I can only apologise on behalf of Kiwis to Jofra, not only from our team and how we look to conduct ourselves, but what we expect of Kiwis in general.

"It's a horrific thing. In a country, and a setting where it is very much multi-cultural, it's something we need to put to bed quickly and hope nothing like that ever happens again. It certainly won't if there's any influence we can have on it. "Was I shocked? Absolutely, 100 percent. I will try see him over the next few days if I can, definitely." New Zealand Cricket also released a statement confirming they would be making an official apology to Archer and reiterating the zero tolerance attitude to such incident.
