The New Zealand team is battling injury problems ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Regular captain Kane Williamson may miss the opening few matches. Meanwhile, the team has suffered another blow in the form of fast bowler Tim Southee, who will have to undergo surgery before the World Cup. A decision on his playing in the World Cup will be taken in the next few days.
Tim Southee’s availability for World Cup 2023 will be decided next week after the fast bowler suffered an injury during New Zealand’s tour of England. He has broken a bone in his toe and will have to undergo surgery due to the fracture. New Zealand Cricket confirmed the news on Wednesday afternoon after Southee was injured in the final ODI at Lord’s on Saturday.

The 34-year-old player will be selected after the doctors’ report. The team is struggling with several injuries, so coach Gary Stead is hopeful that Southee will recover in time. Stead said, “We’re confident Tim’s surgery will go well. He’ll have some pins or screws put in his right toe and then we’ll see if Tim can tolerate the pain. He’ll be managed.”
