Champions Trophy Final: Henry's Fitness 'still A Little Bit Unknown', Says NZ Head Coach Stead

By IANS News March 07, 2025 • 14:10 PM View: 346

Dubai International Stadium: New Zealand head coach Gary Stead has admitted that Matt Henry’s availability for the Champions Trophy final against India remains uncertain after the pacer sustained a shoulder injury during the semi-final against South Africa in Lahore.

While Henry returned to bowl two overs and was active in the field after hurting his shoulder while taking a catch to dismiss Heinrich Klaasen, his fitness is still under assessment just over 48 hours before the summit clash against India.
