Williamson injured his right knee\u2019s ACL while attempting a catch during the first match of the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League and has undergone surgery. He is currently striving to recover in time for the World Cup.<\/p>\n<section class=\"cb-nws-dtl-itms\">\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\">\u201cIt\u2019s still far too early to know,\u201d Stead said ahead of the five-match series against Pakistan. \u201cHe\u2019s had the operation and, to date, what we know, that\u2019s been successful. So he is in the very, very early stages of his rehab programme.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"cb-nws-dtl-itms\">\n<section class=\"cb-nws-dtl-itms\">\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\">\u201cIt\u2019s obviously pretty non-weight-bearing at this stage, and he\u2019s in a brace. It\u2019s really just meeting milestones as we go. Our line around Kane, at the moment, is still it\u2019s unlikely that he will be available, but we certainly don\u2019t want to rule out a person of his class and calibre, and the things he brings to this team, too early in case there is that chance still.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"cb-nws-dtl-itms\"><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-between lg:block\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-2 md:gap-3 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Zealand captain Kane Williamson might accompany the team to the 50-over World Cup in India, even if he is\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":28898,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3446,3029,164,340],"class_list":["post-5965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-icc-world-cup-2023","tag-kane-willamson","tag-new-zealand","tag-world-cup"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
