Kane Williamson, New Zealand’s wrecker-in-chief, is all set to make his return to international cricket, as the star batter is certain to play the game against Bangladesh on Friday, October 13 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Notably, Williamson will also return to lead the Black Caps, as stand-in skipper Tom Latham will assume his responsibilities as wicketkeeper and vice-captain once again.
“Yeah, definitely. Initially, it [my comeback] was not really considered. And to be honest, it was probably a good thing just to get my head stuck into rehab and each day and not sort of rush it. That was really my focus, and I was fortunate as well I had a really, really good team around me back home,” Williamson was saying as quoted by ESPNcricinfo on Thursday.
The 33-year-old also spoke about how his road to recovery was slow. He also expressed himself on the process of rehab that how each passing week was indispensable in him finding a spot at what could be his last edition of the quadrennial event.
“There were lots of quite clear steps along the way that you were trying to tick off, different milestones in terms of returning to the next phases and those sorts of things. So quite different, a lot of data around it, mainly from other sports that was relied on,” he said further.
