New Zealand's Suzie Bates Ruled Out For Three Months

By IANS News December 22, 2025 • 00:04 AM View: 602

New Zealand T20I: New Zealand women's team batter Suzie Bates has sustained a quadricep tear, which has ruled her out of the home summer until March. Bates suffered the injury last month while fielding during a Hallyburton Johnstone Shield match.

Subsequent scans revealed that due to the severity of the tear, she will require three months of rehabilitation, the New Zealand Cricket informed in a release on Sunday night.

The recovery timeline means Bates will be unavailable for Otago for the remainder of the domestic home summer and for the White Ferns' home series against Zimbabwe in February.
