Kane Williamson may return in the match against South Africa, suspense over Ferguson’s play
The New Zealand team has seen a very good performance so far in the ODI World Cup 2023, although they have definitely faced defeat in the last two matches. In the points table, New Zealand team is currently in third place with eight points. Now they have to play their next match against the South African team on November 1 at Pune ground. In this match, Kiwi team captain Kane Williamson is expected to return, who could not play the last two matches due to injury in the match against Bangladesh.
Kiwi team coach gave a big statement on Williamson’s return
New Zealand team head coach Gary Stead, in his statement to Newshub regarding Kane Williamson’s return in the match against South Africa, said that he will start practicing with the team 24 hours before the match. Let us tell you that while batting in the match against Bangladesh, Kane Williamson’s thumb got fractured due to a direct throw. He was returning to the field in this match after being fit after a long time, but again he had to be out of the playing-11 due to injury.
Kiwi team head coach Gary Stead said on Kane’s return that Williamson will practice with the team tomorrow and then the next day too, so that we can get an idea of whether he is available for selection in this match or not. After practice, we will have a completely clear picture regarding his return.
Lockie Ferguson will not play the match against Africa
Kiwi fast bowler Lockie Ferguson, who became unfit while bowling in the match against Australia, is now out of the match against South Africa. Gary Stead said in his statement regarding Ferguson that Ferguson has definitely improved a lot but his injury will be scanned again tomorrow. We hope that he will be almost completely fit in the next one week.
