I'm making progress, but I'm not putting a timeline on anything: Kane Williamson
Williamson is one of those few players who have performed exceptionally in all 3 formats of the game. He was also one of those 4 players who are included in the famous ‘Fab 4’ players in Test cricket. Williamson recently talked about his recovery and revealed how the process is going on. Williamson said that he never had such a long-term injury in his career before so it’d be pretty difficult for him to deal with it.
"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 was quoted as saying by India Today.
"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 said.
