Pune: New Zealand regular skipper Kane Williamson, who is recovering from an injury, which he sustained earlier in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, has been ruled out of the all important match against South Africa to be played here on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old Williamson, who earlier sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the Indian Premier League, earlier this year, made a successful recovery and played the match against Bangladesh after missing the first two matches of the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023.
However, during the game against the Bangladesh, a fielder's throw hit Williamson following which he sustained an thumb injury and was subsequently ruled out of the remaining matches.
In a late night development, the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) through a post on X informed that "Kane Williamson has been ruled out of Wednesday’s match against @ProteasMenCSA.(sic)"
