\"Wicketkeeper-batter Polly Inglis and left-arm seamer Bree Illing, who made their international debuts during last week\u2019s ODI series, will replace Gaze and Jensen for the T20I series, while 22-year-old Central Hinds allrounder and former New Zealand A representative Flora Devonshire receives her maiden call up, replacing James,\" New Zealand Cricket said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In just her first three international matches, Inglis took five catches behind the stumps and scored 43 runs across two innings, while Illing took four wickets, twice dismissing Sri Lanka\u2019s captain Chamari Athapaththu.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Regular wicketkeeper Gaze, who played as a batter only during the ODI series, sprained her left hip flexor when fielding during the third ODI against Sri Lanka. Her rehabilitation timelines are being reviewed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Assessments have also determined that Jensen and James\u2019 injuries, which ruled them out of the ODI series, require further rehabilitation before returning to play,\" the statement added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
White Ferns head coach Ben Sawyer said the injuries were unfortunate and disappointing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We\u2019re all feeling for Izzy, Hayley and Bella. It\u2019s disappointing for the team and the players, but I know those three have the determination and resilience to bounce back,\" said Sawyer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sawyer said Illing and Inglis had shown they are ready for T20I cricket. \"Bree and Polly had a really positive start to their ODI career. They both showed great intent and execution, and I\u2019m confident they\u2019re ready to take on this next challenge.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said Devonshire was an exciting prospect. \"Flora\u2019s shown a lot of all-round potential at the domestic level and is another exciting young player that has qualities consistent with what we\u2019re looking for in the White Ferns.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
