New Zealand have called Kyle Jamieson into their ICC World Cup 2023 squad as cover while fellow pace bowler Matt Henry awaits the results of a scan on a hamstring injury. Jamieson, previously with the squad in India as cover for Tim Southee, will arrive in Bengaluru late on Thursday ahead of Saturday\u2019s pool game against Pakistan. New Zealand coach Gary Stead said that with Henry awaiting the results of a scan on his right hamstring and fast bowler Lockie Ferguson recovering from an Achilles injury, the Black Caps had to summon cover. \u201cThe severity of Matt\u2019s injury, combined with a short turnaround to Pakistan, meant we couldn\u2019t risk being a bowler down for Saturday,\u201d Stead said on Thursday. \u201cMatt\u2019s been a world-class performer for us in ODI cricket for the past two World Cup cycles so we\u2019ve got our fingers crossed for the scan results later today,\u201d he added. \u201cKyle\u2019s on his way over as we speak and we look forward to welcoming him back into the group,\u201d he said. New Zealand have been beset by injuries during ICC World Cup 2023 with star batsman Kane Williamson (thumb) and all-rounder Mark Chapman (thigh) both currently sidelined. The 2019 World Cup finalists endured a 190-run thrashing by South Africa on Wednesday, with Henry breaking down midway through his sixth over. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
