Williamson looks forward to being in the ODI World Cup
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has been on the fastest recovery mode with his resolute conviction of playing his major role in the upcoming ODI World Cup. Kane Williamson had picked up serious knee injury in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 while playing for Gujarat Titans. Williamson’s injury gave harrowing times to New Zealand as it was incredibly serious in nature. Following the injury, Williamson had undergone knee surgery. But, Williamson has shown absolute firmness in making complete recovery to be in the World Cup to lead New Zealand. World Cup will be getting underway from October (5) in India with New Zealand taking on England in the opening match.
“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,” said Williamson as quoted by The Daily Star.
The excitement of playing in the ODI World Cup hasn’t affected the rehab for Williamson as he has been firm in his rehabilitation which has helped him tremendously in his recovery.
“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, really exciting. It’s 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. I only want to be there if I can add some value and I’m fit and ready to go,” said Williamson.
