NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — New Zealand was dealt two huge injury blows ahead of the third test against England starting Thursday, with strike bowler Matt Henry and middle-order batter Glenn Phillips ruled out.
Henry, who took 11 wickets in New Zealand’s second-test win at The Oval last week, sustained a calf strain during that match and hasn’t recovered, the team said.
Phillips, who scored a crucial century in the first innings at The Oval, is out with a side strain.
New Zealand also had already decided to rest fast bowler Kyle Jamieson, meaning the two leading wicket-takers in the series, Henry (12) and Jamieson (10), aren’t playing.
The 6-foot-8 (2.07-meter) Jamieson was being stood down to manage his workload. He’s bowled a leading 65 overs in the series following a long-term back injury and was going to play only two tests in the series.
The series is tied at 1-1.
