New Zealand pacer Matt Henry has been ruled out of the ODI series against Pakistan after suffering an abdominal strain on the final day of the second Test in Karachi.
Kiwi coach Gary Stead confirmed Henry suffered the injury in the final session of day five of the second Test which ended as a draw.
“It was a pretty gutsy effort, really, but he will be withdrawn from the ODI side,” Stead said on Saturday.
Blair Tickner has already replaced fellow fast bowler Adam Milne in the white ball squad due to concerns about the latter’s preparation for 50-over cricket.
Wicketkeeper Tom Blundell is another to be sidelined as he sat out the final day of the second test with a groin strain.
Stead said Blundell faced 2-4 weeks out before he would return to cricket.
