5 batters to watch at ICC World Cup in India

Kane Williamson (New Zealand) :
The 33-year-old Black Caps skipper returned to action in this week’s World Cup warm-up games against Pakistan, having ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during the Indian Premier League in March.

He will miss the opening game against England on Thursday as he continues his recovery.

Williamson was named Player of the Tournament in 2019 after New Zealand’s agonizing loss to England in the final and is set to feature at his fourth World Cup.

Having scored more than 6,500 runs in the format, his return to the crease will be a huge boost.
