New Zealand captain Kane Williamson revealed that achieving complete fitness for the ODI World Cup 2023 in India remains a "tough" task, but he is cautiously optimistic as he continues to "tick off the small milestones" on his road to recovery after undergoing surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] in his right knee.
The New Zealand white-ball captain Williamson stated that there was "definitely more movement" in the knee, but cautioned against getting too far ahead of himself.
"Yeah, good, just kind of on that same journey path really where there`s been some nice little progressions and working through some of those little milestones and return to the running phase, which I am in at the moment," Williamson said of his recovery as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
"It has been nice to get back on the feet a little bit more and sort of get more into the net sessions and get slightly more involved as well. [There is] definitely more movement. I suppose that`s almost the name of the game -- let`s get the strength and the movement to improve throughout. It is obviously a bit of a slow journey, as a number of others are experiencing," he added.
Williamson underwent surgery in April and with less than two months to go for ODI World Cup, he is in a race against time to be fit for the quadrennial tournament.
"To be at the World Cup is always special. It`s still just guesswork at the moment in terms of when the day is or how it`s tracking at the time," Williamson told reporters at Bay Oval about where he stands with regard to a potential comeback.
