    "editor1": "<p><strong>Wellington, Feb 4 (CRICKETNMORE): &nbsp;<\/strong>Failing to recover from a back injury, New Zealand opener Martin Guptill was on Monday ruled out of the upcoming three-match Twenty20 international series against India, starting on February 6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Guptill had sustained the injury while throwing a ball during fielding practice on the eve of the fifth ODI here after which he was also forced to miss the contest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Kiwi opener underwent a fitness test here this morning where he continued to feel pain in his lower back. Later, New Zealand coach Gary Stead confirmed Guptill will miss the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Unfortunately Martin hasn&#39;t recovered in time for this T20 series - which is very condensed with three games over five days,&quot; Stead was quoted as saying by New Zealand Cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a shame as he (Guptill) is obviously a big part of our white-ball sides, but we&#39;ve got to look at the big picture and ensure he gets the injury right. It&#39;s great to have Jimmy coming into the side after some encouraging ODI performances. It promises to be an exciting series,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bowling all-rounder James Neesham, who was earlier left out of the T20I squad, has now been included as Guptill&#39;s replacement.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
