NZ Quick O'Rourke Out Of 2nd Test Against Aus With Injury; Sears Called In As Replacement

By IANS News March 04, 2024 • 09:56 AM View: 429

New Zealand Cricket: New Zealand pace-bowler Will O’Rourke has been ruled out of the second Test against Australia after scans revealed a left-hamstring strain, the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said on Monday.

O'Rourke sustained the injury while bowling on day three of the first Test in Wellington and will require at least two weeks of rest and rehabilitation.

Uncapped fast-bowler Ben Sears will replace O’Rourke in the 13-man squad and will join the team in Christchurch on Tuesday.
