Kane Williamson will probably be included in New Zealand’s starting lineup for the eagerly awaited ICC World Cup 2023. The Black Caps will play on the opening day of the ODI World Cup when they square up against the defending champions England in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
Since sustaining a knee injury on March 31 during the opening game of the IPL 2023, Kane Williamson has yet to participate in a competitive game. The top batsman’s ability to play in the World Cup was seriously questioned, but he has healed enough to qualify for the major competition.

Just before departing for India for the ODI World Cup, Kane Williamson declared, “There is a strong desire to be involved as much as I can.”
