Latest matches
Henry Shipley, a bowling all-rounder without international experience who has been in outstanding form for Canterbury in domestic cricket over the previous two years, might possibly fill Henry’s slot if he is absent.
Gary Stead, the head coach, said, “It has been difficult playing 10 days out of the last 12 [in Karachi] with that being full days with no weather breaks.” “So I guess there is natural wear and tear on players when they are on the field for 8 periods in each Test match.”
Kyle Jamieson, Adam Milne, and Henry are all spectators. Milne had been dropped from the team earlier this week for the ODI series against Pakistan and India. Milne is not yet ready to play for the United States in international cricket, according to Stead.
For England Tests, Boult is “out of the picture in cricket latest,” says Stead
Trent Boult, according to Stead, won’t be playing for New Zealand in the two-match Test series against England in February. Boult declined his central contract with New Zealand in August of last year, although he played for the team in the T20 World Cup. Since that competition, he has not represented New Zealand, but he has participated in franchise T20 cricket, playing for the Melbourne Stars in the BBL. In order to join MI Emirates for the inaugural ILT20 competition, which will take place from January 13 to February 12, Boult will now depart the BBL.
Jamieson is scheduled to make a comeback in Super Smash
Jamieson will make his competitive cricket debut in the 20-over Super Smash after missing the Trent Bridge Test in June of last year due to a back ailment. Stead predicts that Jamieson will play for Auckland “within a week or so.” Stead emphasised that the team management is against hurrying him back into top-flight cricket and that his availability for the Test series against England is still unknown.
