Already into running phase, Williamson cautiously confident of being at World Cup
Wellington, Aug 11 (IANS) New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is cautiously optimistic about getting fit for the ODI World Cup to be held in India in October-November this year. Williamson, who is recuperating from a knee injury, on Friday gave some hope to the New Zealand fans by informing them that his recovery was ahead of schedule and on track for selection when the World Cup squad is picked next month. It’s still just guesswork at the moment in terms of when the day is or how it’s tracking at the time.

Williamson, who was named player of the tournament at the previous World Cup when NZ lost the final to hosts England on boundary countback after a Super Over, said getting ready for the World Cup was still a tough goal for him.

NZ: New trials set to make vegetable farming more productive and sustainable

The teams hope their research findings will provide valuable insights into how regenerative farming can work across New Zealand's intensive vegetable production system. The industry-wide collaboration, run from LeaderBrand's Gisborne farms, will investigate the impacts of regenerative farming in relation to productivity, profitability, people, and the environment. Regenerative practices are being tested alongside current management practices, with comparisons made between the methods.
