Hat-trick Hero Ferguson Ruled Out Of Sri Lanka ODIs, NZC Call Up Milne As Replacement

By IANS News November 11, 2024 • 23:22 PM View: 301
Sri Lanka ODIs: New Zealand suffered a setback in their white-ball tour of Sri Lanka with hat-trick hero Lockie Ferguson being ruled out of the upcoming One-day International (ODI) series after sustaining a left-calf injury in Sunday's T20I victory in Dambulla. Adam Milne has been called in as Ferguson’s replacement and will join the squad on Tuesday.

Ferguson left the field after experiencing discomfort while bowling his second over and an initial medical assessment indicated that he would not be fit enough to take part in the upcoming 50-over matches, the New Zealand Cricket informed on Monday. Ferguson will return home to New Zealand for scans which will determine the extent of the injury and the period of rehabilitation required.

Ferguson had completed a sensational hat-trick that helped New Zealand defend a modest total of 108 in the second T20I against Sri Lanka on Sunday. Ferguson's hat-trick marked a dramatic turnaround in a match that had initially looked to be slipping away from the Kiwis. The fast bowler’s stunning performance also saw him join an exclusive list of New Zealand cricketers who have claimed a T20I hat-trick.
