The Cricket World Cup 2023 kicked off at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday with defending champions England facing New Zealand in a repeat of the 2019 final.

New Zealand Cricket came up with a heartwarming way to announce the squad for ICC World Cup 2023 and the video posted on their social media handles has gone viral. The video featured family members of the New Zealand cricket team players who introduced them with their name and jersey numbers. "Our 2023 @cricketworldcup squad introduced by their number 1 fans!" BlackCaps captioned the video posted on 'X' (formerly twitter). The video featured Kane Williamson's family, Trent Boult's sons, Rachin Ravindra's parents and Jimmy Neesham's grandmother and many other family members of the cricketers.
New Zealand have given captain Kane Williamson a two-week deadline to prove his fitness for the one-day World Cup starting in October, head coach Gary Stead said Monday. The batsman tore the cruciate ligaments in his right knee playing for Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League in April. The 33-year-old has recovered well and is batting in the nets, with a place in New Zealand's 15-man squad now in sight. "We've got about two weeks from now until we name that side," Stead told New Zealand media.
New Zealand have been forced to reshuffle their squad as all-rounder Jimmy Neesham will skip the Kiwis' upcoming T20I series against England. Neesham was due to join the NZ camp following the completion of his domestic campaign with The Oval Invincibles in England's domestic T20 competition. But the 32-year-old will instead return to New Zealand to be alongside his wife ahead of the birth of their first child according to the ICC. Neesham has featured in more than 150 matches national team and played a pivotal role in the success they enjoyed in the last edition of the ODI World Cup as he amassed 232 runs and claimed 15 wickets.
