Jamieson was previously with the New Zealand squad in India as a cover for Tim Southee earlier in the tournament. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said he will arrive in Bengaluru late on Thursday ahead of Saturday\u2019s crucial match against 1992 champions Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe severity of Matt\u2019s injury, combined with a short turnaround to Pakistan, meant we couldn\u2019t risk being a bowler down for Saturday. Matt\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 said head coach Gary Stead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Henry had hurt his right hamstring in New Zealand\u2019s crushing 190-run loss to South Africa at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. He was to undergo MRI scan on Thursday to ascertain the extent of the injury to his right hamstring.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Kyle\u2019s on his way over as we speak and we look forward to welcoming him back into the group. He\u2019ll likely train with us on Friday with a mind to being available for Saturday\u2019s game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Kyle was able to train for two full weeks with us earlier in the tournament and has since played a Plunket Shield match - so we\u2019re confident he\u2019ll be able to hit the ground running,\u201d added Stead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Ferguson has returned to fitness ahead of Pakistan clash. \"Lockie Ferguson\u2019s scan on his right achilles revealed no significant damage and it\u2019s hoped he\u2019ll be available for Saturday\u2019s game against Pakistan in Bengaluru,\" NZC said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ferguson had to walk off the field during a game against Australia last Saturday after experiencing discomfort in his right Achilles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
New Zealand made a great start to their Men\u2019s ODI World Cup campaign with four victories. But after that, they have slumped to three consecutive defeats coming against hosts India, five-time champions Australia and South Africa, with their Net Run Rate taking a severe hit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They will now travel to Bengaluru on Thursday ahead of their crucial match against Pakistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, and have their final league match against Sri Lanka on November 9 at the same venue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mens-odi-wc-jamieson-called-in-as-cover-by-new-zealand-over-fitness-concerns-of-henry-and-ferguson.jpg", "alt_img": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Jamieson called in as cover by New Zealand over fitness concerns of Henry and Ferguson", "alt_title": "Injured New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson flies home from England", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Jamieson Called In As Cover By New Zealand Over Fitness Concerns Of Henry And Ferguson On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Jamieson Called In As Cover By New Zealand Over Fitness Concerns Of Henry And Ferguson, Cricket World Cup: New Zealand have called in fast-bowler Kyle Jamieson to their ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup squad in.", "seo_keywords": "New Zealand, Kyle Jamieson, ICC Men, Cricket World Cup, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, New Zealand Cricket, World Cup, Gary Stead, South Africa, MCA Stadium, Plunket Shield, ODI World Cup, Net Run Rate, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Sri Lanka", "tag": "", "tagging": "New Zealand, Kyle Jamieson, ICC Men, Cricket World Cup, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, New Zealand Cricket, World Cup, Gary Stead, South Africa, MCA Stadium, Plunket Shield, ODI World Cup, Net Run Rate, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Sri Lanka", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "mens-odi-wc-jamieson-called-in-as-cover-by-new-zealand-over-fitness-concerns-of-henry-and-ferguson", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "748", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-02 11:46:03", "updated": "2023-11-02 11:46:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "New Zealand, Kyle Jamieson, ICC Men, Cricket World Cup, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, New Zealand Cricket, World Cup, Gary Stead, South Africa, MCA Stadium, Plunket Shield, ODI World Cup, Net Run Rate, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Sri Lanka", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-02 11:46:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/mens-odi-wc-jamieson-called-in-as-cover-by-new-zealand-over-fitness-concerns-of-henry-and-ferguson-131556" }
