Pakistan T20Is: Top order batter Finn Allen and fast bowler Adam Milne have been ruled out of the New Zealand's T20 series against Pakistan with respective injuries.

Allen suffered a back injury while Milne sustained an ankle injury while training ahead of team's departure.

"The nature of their respective injuries meant they wouldn’t be able to take part in any of the five-match series, due to start next week in Rawalpindi. Plans for their return to cricket will be confirmed in the coming weeks," New Cricket said in a statement.
