T20 World Cup: New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson has been granted paternal leave and will miss the team's last Group game against Canada, NZC said on Sunday.

"New Zealand pace-bowler Lockie Ferguson will depart the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup today to return home for the birth of him and his wife's first child," NZC said in a statement.

New Zealand have won two out of their three group games so far in this tournament, and will face Canada on Tuesday.
