According to Media Sources, New Zealand have decided to fly in allrounder Kyle Jamieson as cover for pacer Matt Henry in their ICC Cricket World Cup squad while fellow pace bowler Matt Henry awaits the results of a scan on a hamstring injury. Matt Henry sustained an injury during match against South Africa at Pune. As per media sources, he will be reaching Bengaluru late on Thursday before the team’s game against Pakistan at the M Chinnswammy Stadium on Saturday.
“Kyle Jamieson has been called into the BLACKCAPS ICC Cricket World Cup squad in India as cover. Jamieson, who was previously with the squad as cover for Tim Southee earlier in the tournament, will arrive in Bengaluru late on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s game against Pakistan,” said New Zealand Cricket (NZC) in a statement.
New Zealand coach Gary Stead said that with Henry awaiting the results of a scan on his right hamstring and fast bowler Lockie Ferguson recovering from an Achilles injury, the Black Caps had to summon cover. They have two group games remaining and a place in the semi-finals still up for grabs.
“The severity of Matt’s injury, combined with a short turnaround to Pakistan, meant we couldn’t risk being a bowler down for Saturday,” Stead said on Thursday. “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,” he added.
Stead said Jamieson was well prepared to return to India.
“Kyle’s on his way over as we speak and we look forward to welcoming him back into the group.” he said.
“He’ll likely train with us on Friday with a mind to being available for Saturday’s game” Stead added.
