New Zealand prodigy Kane Williamson received a sweet letter from Pakistan’s captain and best batsman, Babar Azam. Kiwi Williamson suffered a leg injury while playing in the first IPL 2023 game between his new side Gujarat Titans and the four-time champion Chennai Super Kings.
The beautiful batsman was unceremoniously hauled off the field, and when he got to his New Zealand house, he underwent scans. Unfortunately for the right-handed batter, the scans showed that he had damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his right leg.
He is scheduled to have surgery soon, and recovery time will be extended. He won’t be able to participate in the ODI World Cup, which is slated to happen in October and November of this year.

The Pakistani star has previously offered encouragement to other cricketers, posting a similar message for former Indian captain Virat Kohli amid the latter’s protracted slump with the bat. Babar has been selected for Pakistan’s domestic T20I and ODI series against the Kiwis, which begin on April 14. He was rested for Pakistan’s T20I series against Afghanistan. Since several senior players are absent, Tom Latham will captain the visiting New Zealand team.
