Marcus Stoinis Ruled Out From NZ T20I Series, Aaron Hardie Named Replacement

By IANS News February 17, 2024 • 10:50 AM View: 702

NZ T20I: Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been ruled out of the three-match T20I series against New Zealand due to a nagging back issue with Aaron Hardie being called as a replacement for Stoinis.

The absence of key all-rounder Marcus Stoinis due to a nagging back issue casts a shadow over the team's preparations. Stoinis, a pivotal figure in Australia's T20 setup, faces recurring injury concerns, raising questions about his availability and fitness for the upcoming T20 World Cup. His ability to both bat effectively and contribute with crucial wickets has been invaluable in past tournaments, but his consistent battle with injuries remains a cause for concern.

Stoinis tweaked his back in the warm-up of the second T20I against West Indies in Adelaide last Sunday but was still able to play. He made 16 off 15 with the bat but played a role in feeding the strike to Glenn Maxwell in an 80-run stand before picking up 3 for 36 to continue his excellent bowling form.
