New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the 2023 ICCCricket World Cup opening match against title-holders England.<\/p>\n

It had already been a battle to get Williamson fit enough to feature in the tournament after he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the first match of the Indian Premier League six months ago and required surgery.<\/p>\n

In a repeat of the 2019 thrilling super-over final at Lord\u2019s, England will take on New Zealand in the first match of the tournament on 5 October at the 134,000-seater stadium in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n

Williamson is expected to play as a specialist batter during New Zealand\u2019s behind-closed-doors warm-up match against Pakistan in Hyderabad, a game in which teams are allowed to use their full squads as they will not be given ODI status.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight from the start we\u2019ve taken a long-term view on Kane\u2019s return to play,\u201d New Zealand\u2019s head coach Gary Stead said, reported by espncricinfo.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis recovery is tracking well and it\u2019s now a matter of making sure he can cope with the rigours and intensity of international cricket. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll continue to take a day by day approach to Kane\u2019s rehabilitation and certainly won\u2019t be putting any pressure on him to return before he is ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williamson could field and bat against South Africa in the second warm-up game on Monday, but the show-stopper opening match against England could come a bit too soon.<\/p>\n

If Williamson does not take to the field, Tom Latham is expected to captain the Kiwis, and is also likely to take charge during the warm-up matches to allow the experienced batter to focus on recovery.<\/p>\n

Williamson is one of the best batters in the world across all three formats and has also been captain of the team in all formats since 2016 and the retirement of current England Test coach Brendon McCullum.<\/p>\n
