Tauranga. New Zealand’s white-ball captain Kane Williamson may return to the field in the ODI World Cup 2023, posting a video of him starting his batting session on Instagram.

New Zealand team captain Kane Williamson was injured during the IPL. Seeing his injury, it was being said that it is very difficult for him to play in the ODI World Cup 2023. But now such news has come from which Kiwi fans can heave a sigh of relief. Kane Williamson has returned to the field, he himself shared the video of it.

Sharing a short clip of him batting in the nets on his Instagram account on Tuesday, Williamson wrote, “Good to be back batting in the nets.”

Williamson suffered a leg injury while playing for Gujarat Titans in the opening match of IPL 2023 against Chennai Super Kings on March 31 in Ahmedabad. In his very first match of the season, Williamson fell while catching a catch at the boundary line. After that he went out of the field. He was ruled out of the remaining matches of IPL 2023 due to injury.

Williamson returned to his country walking with the help of crutches and had to undergo surgery. The chances of him playing in the ODI World Cup were slim. But now it seems that he can return to the field.

Williamson was the top run-scorer for his team in the 2019 Men’s ODI World Cup with 578 runs at an average of 82.57, including two centuries and as many fifties. He was also voted Player of the Tournament.

His possible return to the team in time for the ODI World Cup could prove beneficial for the Blackcaps. His excellent form in ICC tournaments has always worked for the team.

New Zealand will once again take on England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 5 to kick-start their World Cup campaign. The final of the tournament is also to be played at the same venue on 19 November. (IANS)
