I've seen rugby players come back from ACL injuries as quick as 4-5 months... It's usually a 6 month standard off the field type injury but if the athlete has a bit of luck & applies himself in recovery sessions,then yes it is possible.As for the World Cup I'd make him 50/50.. his knee might heal in time but the fitness issue & form might be enough to keep him out.I would not be surprised at all if he was 'rested' in the group stages and called upon in the knockout games if required & fit & ready.Even that Bangladesh Test series isn't until after the World Cup, and nearly eight months away, so maybe he's still a chance of making it.
'Nearly 8 months away' for the Bangladesh series should more than enough for Kane to make it back in time (providing there are no more complications from the injury)
