Sylhet International Cricket Stadium: Veteran left-arm fast-bowler Neil Wagner has been called up to the New Zealand Test squad for the tour of Bangladesh to replace injured Matt Henry. Henry has been recovering in New Zealand after tearing his right hamstring mid-way through the Men’s ODI World Cup in India.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said following further scans and assessments this week, it was deemed the injury had not sufficiently healed to have Henry ready and available for Test match cricket. With the first of two Tests starting in less than two weeks on November 28, the decision was made to call up Wagner, who has played 63 Tests for New Zealand.
“It’ll be great to have Neil’s skill and experience on the tour of Bangladesh. His record speaks for itself and we all know what a great competitor he is. He’s played plenty of cricket in the sub-continent and I know he’s really excited by the challenge ahead,” said Blackcaps selector Sam Wells in a statement.
