Kane Williamson, playing for Gujarat Titans against Chennai Super Kings in the first match of IPL, was injured while fielding on the boundary line. He had an injury on his right knee. The injury was so serious that he had to go out of the field with the help of support staff.
At the same time, after this injury, the New Zealand Cricket Board has confirmed that his cruciate ligament is torn and he needs surgery to recover from it. At the same time, in the midst of this injury, bad news is coming out for the New Zealand team. Actually, due to this injury, New Zealand’s veteran batsman can be out of ODI World Cup 2023 as well.
Looking at his injury and his surgery, it is now believed that he may be out of the World Cup 2023. The World Cup is to be held in India from October 5 to November 19. On the other hand, Kane is likely to undergo knee surgery within the next three weeks. In such a situation, it is very difficult to recover after surgery in such a short time. In view of this, it is believed that he will not be a part of the selected team of World Cup 2023.
After his injury, New Zealand veteran Kane Williamson has given a big statement. Kane said that ‘I have received a lot of support in the last few days and for this I want to thank both Gujarat Titans and New Zealand Cricket. Naturally it is disappointing to have such an injury, but my focus is now on getting the surgery done and starting my rehab. It is going to take some time, but I will do everything possible to get back on the field as soon as possible.’
