ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: New Zealand’s Tim Southee Set for Surgery Ahead of Mega Event

With just two weeks remaining until the start of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, teams are finalizing their preparations and squads for the highly anticipated event. Warm-up matches are scheduled to commence on September 29, and teams from around the world will soon begin arriving in India. 

However, the rigorous cricket schedule in the lead-up to the World Cup has taken a toll on several teams, leading to injuries among key players. New Zealand is no exception, with some of their crucial players facing fitness challenges. While Captain Kane Williamson is hopeful of a full recovery before the tournament kicks off, veteran pacer Tim Southee recently suffered an injury during the final ODI against England.

Tim Southee’s Injury and Surgery

During the fourth and final ODI against England at Lord’s last week, Tim Southee sustained a thumb injury while attempting to take a catch. As a result, he was unable to complete his bowling quota and had to leave the field for treatment. Southee’s presence in the New Zealand squad is crucial, making his injury a cause for concern. He is known for his exceptional bowling skills and has been a key figure in the Kiwi lineup.

Initially, a scan revealed a fractured thumb, which has prompted the decision for Southee to undergo surgery on Thursday. The outcome of this surgery will play a significant role in determining his availability for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, set to take place in India.

Hopeful for a Timely Recovery

New Zealand’s head coach, Gary Stead, expressed hope that Tim Southee would recover in time to participate in the World Cup. The Kiwi team is eagerly awaiting Southee’s return to full fitness, as he is one of their most experienced and successful bowlers in One Day Internationals (ODIs). Southee currently holds the title of New Zealand’s third-highest wicket-taker in ODIs, having claimed an impressive 214 wickets throughout his career.

As New Zealand prepares to take on England in the opening match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, scheduled for October 5 in Ahmedabad, the team’s management and fans alike are eagerly awaiting updates on Southee’s recovery. 

His potential absence could be a significant setback for New Zealand, but the hope remains that he will heal in time to contribute to his team’s campaign in the mega event.
