Henry ruled out of World Cup, Jamieson named replacement
New Zealand quick Matt Henry has been ruled out of the ODI World Cup due to the hamstring strain he picked up against South Africa with Kyle Jamieson confirmed as his replacement.
Jamieson, who was a voyaging hold before in the competition prior to getting back, had proactively been called up to join the New Zealand crew in India after their physical issue list developed during the game in Pune. He will come straight into dispute for the game against Pakistan in Bengaluru on Saturday.
"We're lucky to have a player of the class of Kyle standing ready," lead trainer Gary Stead said. "His abilities and actual properties generally convey him an intimidation with the ball and it's a special reward he had the option to prepare with us in the initial fourteen days of the competition.
"Kyle's needed to strive to get back from two separate back wounds and I realize he's truly amped up for being associated with his most memorable ODI World Cup."
Henry's physical issue had added to those of Kane Williamson (thumb), Imprint Chapman (calf), Lockie Ferguson (Achilles) and James Neesham (wrist) which implied New Zealand had only 11 fit players part way through the game against South Africa.
Henry had taken 11 wickets at 28.63 with an economy rate 28.63 in seven matches. He began the competition with consecutive three-wicket pulls against Britain and Netherlands prior to coming in for some crueler treatment in ongoing matches.
"We're destroyed for him," Stead said. "Matt's been an essential piece of our one-day side for quite a while and to see him precluded as we arrive at the business end of this competition is monstrously frustrating.
"He's reliably been positioned inside the ICC top 10 ODI bowlers for the beyond couple of years which is demonstration of his group and abilities. Besides, Matt's an extraordinary group man and we as a whole will miss his character and experience."
Stead was confident that Ferguson could be accessible to confront Pakistan while adding that Chapman was recuperating great and x-beams had gotten Neesham free from any wrecked bones. Williamson had begun batting once more and will be additionally evaluated in the following two or three days.
"We're confronted with a smidgen of misfortune with wounds," New Zealand skipper Tom Latham said after the South Africa game which was their third loss in succession. "Speedy circle back in Bangalore so we want to consider this rapidly and go into the following game with a positive outlook. We don't turn into a terrible group for the time being."
