Men’s ODI WC: Jamieson Called In As Cover By New Zealand Over Fitness Concerns Of Henry And Ferguson
Cricket World Cup: New Zealand have called in fast-bowler Kyle Jamieson to their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup squad in India as a cover, especially with pacer Matt Henry awaiting scan results on his right hamstring and Lockie Ferguson continuing to recover from his achilles injury.
Jamieson was previously with the New Zealand squad in India as a cover for Tim Southee earlier in the tournament. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said he will arrive in Bengaluru late on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s crucial match against 1992 champions Pakistan.
“The severity of Matt’s injury, combined with a short turnaround to Pakistan, meant we couldn’t risk being a bowler down for Saturday. Matt’s been a world class performer for us in ODI cricket for the past two World Cup cycles so we’ve got our fingers crossed for the scan results later today,” said head coach Gary Stead.
