Williamson wants New Zealand to learn from India defeat in final
6 Mar 25
Regular New Zealand white ball captain Kane Williamson will be included in the Kiwis 15-man squad for the upcoming World Cup in India as he continues to recover from knee surgery.
Williamson, who injured his knee in the Indian Premier League, has made sufficient progress in his recovery to be named in the World Cup squad although he may not be fit enough to play the very first match of the tournament.
“Kane has applied phenomenal dedication to his rehabilitation and has been supported by a strong group of experts around him," head coach Gary Stead said.

"He’s left no stone unturned in trying to get back playing cricket at the highest level. We are delighted to be in a place to select him. At the same time, he’s also kept perspective about his recovery and hasn’t wanted to rush or force his way back too early. As we’ve previously said, it’s great he wants to play cricket for New Zealand in the long term.”
“As we’ve said throughout this process we want to give Kane every bit of available time to aid his recovery. The World Cup is not a short tournament and we will continue to monitor his progress over the next month ahead of the first tournament match” he added.
Williamson has been training with the New Zealand team in their tour of England although he isn't part of the squad.
