<p>According to head coach Gary Stead, New Zealand has given captain Kane Williamson two weeks to demonstrate his readiness for the one-day World Cup that will begin in October.</p>
<p>While playing for Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League in April, the batsman tore the cruciate ligaments in his right knee.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-150455″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-does-salting-curd-make-it-better-for-your-health-professional-opinion-kane-williamson1-11zon-750×486.png” alt=”theindiaprint.com does salting curd make it better for your health professional opinion kane williamson1 11zon” width=”1478″ height=”958″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-does-salting-curd-make-it-better-for-your-health-professional-opinion-kane-williamson1-11zon-750×486.png 750w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-does-salting-curd-make-it-better-for-your-health-professional-opinion-kane-williamson1-11zon-768×498.png 768w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-does-salting-curd-make-it-better-for-your-health-professional-opinion-kane-williamson1-11zon-150×97.png 150w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-does-salting-curd-make-it-better-for-your-health-professional-opinion-kane-williamson1-11zon.png 1024w” sizes=”(max-width: 1478px) 100vw, 1478px” title=”New Zealand has given Kane Williamson two weeks to demonstrate his readiness for the upcoming ODI World Cup 6″></p>
<p>The 33-year-old is practicing his batting in the nets after making a good recovery, and a spot in New Zealand’s 15-man team is now in his sights.</p>
<p>Stead told New Zealand reporters, “We’ve got about two weeks from now until we name that side.”</p>
<p>“We’re going to give him every opportunity to use the whole allotted time. He is fully engaged in his rehabilitation, which is fantastic to watch.</p>
<p>He is making great progress, but he still has a long way to go before he is where we need him to be.</p>
<p>Williamson led New Zealand in their heartbreaking loss to England in the 2019 World Cup final and has more over 6,500 runs scored in one-day international cricket.</p>
<p>On October 5, in Ahmedabad, New Zealand will face England in their World Cup debut.</p>
<p>Williamson is traveling with the group on their white-ball tour in England as part of his effort to become better.</p>
<p>“Of course, we want him at the World Cup, but there is that bigger picture that we want Kane Williamson fit for the rest of his career,” Stead said.</p>
<p>There will be open discussions between Kane and I about his current situation.</p>
<p>James Neesham, an all-arounder, has withdrawn from the Twenty-20 squad for the England series, which begins on Wednesday, in order to return home before the birth of his first child.</p>
