New Zealand white-ball skipper Kane Williamson took to his social media account on Tuesday to post a video of him playing cricket for the first time since the injury he suffered during the recent season of the Indian Premier League.
Williamson was seen taking throw-downs from his young daughter in the video.

Williamson has been out of action since March after he suffered a disastrous injury in the opening game of IPL 2023.
The former Test captain, who was representing the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023, was ruled out of the entire season on the opening night itself after he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Williamson subsequently underwent a surgery, and is currently in the midst of an intense rehabilitation.
Whether he will be featured in the upcoming 50-over World Cup is still a mystery, but the Kiwi run-machine is hopeful, and is focusing on one week at a time in a bid to get himself ready for the marquee event.
"I'm just trying to keep it week-to-week at the moment. I'm making progress, but I'm not putting a timeline on anything. I haven't had such a long-term injury before but talking to other people that have, the journey is a bit of a long one so if you look too far ahead it can probably become a little bit daunting," Williamson told NZC last week.
"Whereas, one week at a time, ticking off those small markers, those little wins that are nice to experience. But also knowing that the journey won't be completely smooth and you have a few setbacks along the way that you have to navigate," he added.
Williamson was the leading scorer for the BlackCaps in the previous edition of the World Cup. The Kiwis will hope that their run-machine returns to the squad as they aim to go one step ahead from the last time and finally lay hands on the trophy.
