The 2023 Women's World Cup is in full swing, and after an incredible group stage that saw shocks galore — Germany, out! Brazil, out! Italy, out! Nigeria in! The U.S. finished second in its group! — we're given a scant 48 hours (or less) to breathe, digest and regroup ahead of the round of 16.
Kane Williamson joined the New Zealand team training camp, however, according to head coach Gary Stead, his hitting and fitness are "not right at the level that he is to perform internationally." The New Zealand batter has been sidelined for a while with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee but is back hitting balls in the nets as he makes progress in his recovery. In a video posted by Cricket New Zealand, Williamson remarked on the sidelines of a New Zealand men's team training camp at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, "Great to see some of the guys and some of the new faces too. Looking forward to the team camp. Nice to have it here at home as well in the Mount [Maunganui], and get into some training and to just reconnect a little bit."

The continental ODI tournament will be held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka from August 31 to September 2. The 34-year-old, who had announced his shock retirement from ODIs during the home series against Afghanistan before withdrawing his decision, will be eyeing the rubber against visiting New Zealand to get back into reckoning for the World Cup in India.
