The 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in April 2023 is when veteran New Zealand batsman Kane Williamson suffered an ACL injury, and he is still recovering. Williamson is in a race against time to make a comeback because he has been ineligible for selection ever since.
The likelihood of his recovering in time for the 2017 World Cup was quite low at the time of the accident. However, the 33-year-old has come a long way and is healing well. until he was qualified to join the Black Caps World Cup team.
It is important to note that changes can be made to the 15-man squads that the teams will submit to the ICC (International Cricket Council) by September 5 without permission up until September 28. Williamson is likely to be chosen for the team that will fly to India for the event if he is able to make a full recovery from his injury.
Will give him every opportunity: G. Stead
Kane Williamson chances were discussed, and New Zealand head coach Gary Stead claimed that the team is giving him every opportunity to make the World Cup roster.
“We’re going to give him every opportunity and make use of the entire two weeks we have before naming that side. He is fully committed to his recovery; it’s nice to see him hitting in the nets once more. He’s making great progress, but he still has a lot of work to do to get to where we need him to be, Gary Stead was cited as saying by cricketmood.
Stead said that Kane Williamson might make the World Cup roster but won’t be available for the first round of the competition, but that he could still prepare in time.
They are all considerations that we are presently weighing, Stead said. There’s a risk that Kane wouldn’t be available at the start of the competition even if he was named. But he might also be, and he might also not be ready,” Stead remarked.
