Kane Williamson on his injury
During the last World Cup, the 33-year-old was New Zealand’s highest run-scorer amassing over 550 runs. Naturally, Williamson is the big match player and is the team’s enforcer.
However, while speaking about recovery, the New Zealand skipper said he is taking one week at a time and said the journey won’t be completely smooth.
“Very much just trying to keep it week-to-week at the moment. I haven’t had such a long-term injury before but talking to other people that have, the journey is a bit of a long one so if you look too far ahead, it probably can become a little bit daunting,” Williamson was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
