New Zealand white-ball skipper Kane Williamson might recover in time to play in the One Day World Cup 2023 in India. After playing the opening game of the IPL 2023, he injured his knee. This ruled out Williamson from the tournament. During the tournament, New Zealand Cricket issued a statement in which they stated that their white-ball skipper might be ruled out of the World Cup later this year.
However, recently, a video of Williamson performing his fitness regime including one involving leg exercises. In the video, the WTC 2021 winning skipper said that he has broken down his fitness regimes week by week. He added that there is no timeline put in by him as he never had a long-term injury before. Notably, Kane sustained an elbow injury every now and then
“I’m just trying to keep it week-to-week at the moment,” Williamson said.
“I’m making progress, but I’m not putting a timeline on anything. I haven’t had such a long-term injury before but talking to other people that have, the journey is a bit of a long one so if you look too far ahead it can probably become a little bit daunting.
Super keen to get back in the nets – Kane Williamson
The former New Zealand U19 skipper further added that the little wins during the entire process is nice. The former Test captain also mentioned that he is mixing his gym and physio work.
“Whereas, one week at a time, ticking off those small markers, those little wins that are nice to experience. But also knowing that the journey won’t be completely smooth and you have a few setbacks along the way that you have to navigate.”
“Probably more for sanity and changing things up … just nice to mix up all the gym work and the physio work and rehab-specific stuff to spend a bit of time with some of the other guys that are training,” he said. “Super keen to get back in the nets, for sure.”
