New Zealand head coach Gary Stead has expressed optimism regarding Kane Williamson’s rehabilitation and emphasised the management’s cautious approach in overseeing the speed of his recovery process.


Williamson, 33, hasn’t played any cricket since rupturing the ACL in his right knee while playing for Gujarat Titans in the opening match of IPL 2023 against Chennai Super Kings on March 31 in Ahmedabad. He underwent surgery in April and has started training and batting in the nets recently.

Williamson wasn’t named in the New Zealand’s 15-player squad for their four-match ODI series in England, starting on September 8, but will travel to England and train with the team while continuing his rehabilitation, with the hope that he will be fit enough for World Cup selection in just under a month’s time. 

“We will take every measure we can to make sure that we get the medical advice that lines up and he’s where we want to be before we make that call on whether he goes [to India for the World Cup] or not. It’s too early to know,” Stead was quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
