NEW DELHI : New Zealand captain Kane Williamson will miss the opening game of the 50-overs World Cup against England on Oct. 5 as he continues to recover from a knee injury, the 2019 finalists said on Friday.
The Cricket World Cup 2023 is just round the corner and the ten competing teams have officially submitted their final squads for the competition. India and Australia made late changes to their 15-member squads as Ravichandran Ashwin replaced the injured Axar Patel while Marnus Labuschagne was rewarded for his brilliant run of form in the recently concluded ODI series against India. The tournament will begin on October 5 with England taking on New Zealand. Hosts India will begin their campaign in the competition against Australia in Chennai on October 8.
Folkestone joint-boss Roland Edge has explained their decision to move Kane Penn to left-back.
New Zealand pacer Tim Southee will be joining New Zealand's upcoming ODI World Cup squad as the player continues to recover after surgery for his fractured right thumb. Southee dislocated the finger while attempting a catch during New Zealand's fourth and final ODI against England at Lord's earlier this month. He subsequently went through surgery, and will now fly to India to take part in the ODI World Cup 2023.
Barcelona twice fought back to secure a 2-2 draw at Mallorca on Tuesday, maintaining their unbeaten start to the La Liga season.
MUENSTER, Germany : Bayern Munich cruised past third-tier club Preussen Muenster 4-0 with several players missing, including striker Harry Kane, in their delayed German Cup first round match on Tuesday.
Less than six months after knee surgery threatened to rule him out of next month's ODI World Cup, the goal of captaining New Zealand in India has been the key driver in getting Kane Williamson through his recovery. The 33-year-old tore the cruciate ligament in his right knee playing for Indian Premier League side Gujarat Titans in April, which looked to have scuppered his chances of making the showpiece tournament. However, intense rehab work has meant a speedy recovery.
Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir has picked Pakistan captain Babar Azam to be the standout batter at the upcoming Cricket World Cup in India. Babar has been in fine form with the bat in 2023, smashing eight 50+ scores in 15 innings. However, the 29-year-old had a below par outing with the bat in the Asia Cup as Pakistan failed to reach the final. On being asked to pick one batter he'll be watching closely at the Cricket World Cup, Gambhir picked Babar ahead of the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, David Warner, among others.
