It is the World Cup time. Every team is looking at their last-time preparations. Some teams are playing their last series ahead of the World Cup. Currently, New Zealand is playing a three-match ODI series before the World Cup. This series is the final rehearsal stage before the World Cup. From this series, they will be aware of their strength and weaknesses. Before the World Cup, they will play two warm-up matches before playing the main World Cup fixture. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is out of the team because of an injury concern. He desired to be back in the squad before the World Cup.
Williamson’s injury:
Kane Williamson will be leading the New Zealand Squad in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. This experienced New Zealand batter was injured while playing an IPL match for Gujrat Titans. After that, he was out of cricket for a long time. But he made a remarkable recovery. He is hopeful about leading New Zealand from the very first match of the World Cup 2023.
New Zealand Skipper’s comment:
Kane William is hoping to be back in the squad ahead of the World Cup. He has a positive mindset on his comeback. The 33-year-old batter said,” It would Be great. Naturally, you want to be back playing when you are fit and ready, sooner rather than later. You hope that ends up being around that World Cup time, but I’m still being very focused on the rehab day-to-day and not wanting those targets to stretch it to a point where you take a backward step.”
Later NZ Batter added,” Naturally, it isn’t ideal, but I didn’t get too much of a say in it. It’s the only option I have in front of me and the prospect of playing another World Cup is really exciting. It is something you always want to be a part of but I didn’t want that to dictate my rehab. At the same time, having a carrot at the back of your mind is helpful.
The World Cup is just a few sleeps away. Every team is preparing the absolute best. New Zealand will meet England in the inaugural match of the World Cup. this can be a revenge-taking match for NZ. In the last edition of the World Cup, New Zealand was defeated by England and became the champion. It is a good time to take the revenge back. On November 19, the world will witness a new World Champion.
