Black caps

Cricket World Cup: New Zealand will give experienced cricketer Kane Williamson every chance to prove his fitness ahead of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup campaign in India. He has two weeks to prove his fitness following which the Black Caps will name their squad for the showpiece event.

The 33-year-old's chances of taking part in this year's World Cup were initially considered slim, as he suffered a ruptured ACL in his right knee during the opening match of IPL 2023 while representing Gujarat Titans against Chennai Super Kings earlier this year.
