Men’s ODI WC: Southee Is Available For Selection; Williamson Still Nursing Thumb Injury, Says Latham
ODI World Cup: New Zealand captain Tom Latham revealed that veteran fast-bowler Tim Southee available for selection in the side’s 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup clash against India at the HPCA Stadium on Sunday. Latham added that regular captain Kane Williamson is still nursing a fractured thumb and hoped for him to be fit in time
Southee had dislocated and fractured his right thumb while taking a catch during an ODI match against England on September 15. He underwent a surgery and got a plate and some screws inserted in the thumb to boost his recovery in a bid to take part in the World Cup, keeping him out of the first four games.
Williamson fractured his finger while completing a run against Bangladesh and retired hurt on 78 in what was his comeback game post an ACL surgery in right knee. “Kane’s obviously still nursing his thumb injury. It's a day-by-day process with him as well. Fingers crossed he'll be available for later on in the tournament. And in regards to Tim, he's available for selection,” said Latham in the pre-match press conference.
