Henry, Seifert Ruled Out Of NZ’s T20Is Against Australia; Sears, Young Called In
The New Zealand T20I: Fast-bowler Matt Henry and wicketkeeper-batter Tim Seifert have been ruled out of New Zealand’s upcoming T20I series against Australia, with Ben Sears and Will Young called in as their replacements, said New Zealand Cricket (NZC).
Henry suffered some hip soreness following New Zealand’s second Test against South Africa in Hamilton and NZC said he will require a short period of rest and strengthening to ensure he is fit for the Test series against Australia happening later in the month.
NZC added that Seifert has been withdrawn from the squad due to a torn abductor suffered while training for his domestic team Northern Districts earlier in the week. Head coach Gary Stead said he was confident both players would make swift recoveries ahead of important series and events later in the year.
