BENGALURU, Oct 11 (Reuters) - New Zealand's regular skipper Kane Williamson could feature in the World Cup game against Bangladesh in Chennai having built up match fitness following his knee injury, head coach Gary Stead said on Wednesday.
"He's had a great last five or six days, really ramped up the fielding aspect of things," Stead told reporters.
"We've got two more trainings still to get through but at this stage, all things are looking good for Kane to return in this game.
We still say that with an air of caution but we're really pleased with the way he has been coming on."
Rachin Ravindra has impressed batting at number three in the absence of Williamson with an unbeaten 123 against England and 51 against the Dutch.
