Kane Williamson, New Zealand's ODI chief, is set to miss the World Cup in India not long from now in the wake of being determined to have a cracked front cruciate tendon in his right knee after he was harmed in his most memorable IPL match of the time for Gujarat Titans.

Williamson got back to New Zealand as of late where the seriousness of the injury was affirmed and he will currently go through a medical procedure within the following three weeks once the enlarging around the knee has diminished.

"Normally it's disheartening to get such a physical issue, yet my emphasis currently is on having the medical procedure and beginning recovery," he said. "It will require some investment, yet I'll give my best for getting back on the field quickly."

Williamson had landed clumsily - with his right knee clasping under his weight - while endeavoring a catch at the profound square leg limit in the thirteenth over of Super Rulers' innings when he had jumped to block a ball set out toward six from Ruturaj Gaikwad. He figured out how to save two runs, palming the ball into the field of play before it skipped onto the limit sheets, yet by that point, Williamson was on the ground gripping his right knee.

Williamson's nonappearance from the World Cup would be a gigantic blow for New Zealand. He midpoints 47.83 across 161 ODIs with 13 centuries.

"You take Kane the player for a beginning, however at that point Kane the pioneer and the individual he is inside our gathering too, it's a tremendous spanner underway for us," New Zealand mentor Gary Stead said. "We haven't surrendered trust that he may be correct however at this stage it looks far-fetched. Our most memorable considerations are with Kane right now, it's a difficult stretch for him, it's anything but a physical issue you expect… it hits you quite hard."

Tom Latham has captained New Zealand without a trace of Williamson this year, and will lead the ODI crew on the impending visit through Pakistan, and could be the leader for the World Cup job.
