Lea Tahuhu Returns To New Zealand Squad Ahead Of Commonwealth Games
With less than a month to go for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has brought in 31-year-old bowling stalwart Lea Tahuhu alongside young right-arm pace bowler Claudia Green as replacements for Lauren Down and Jess Kerr, who have both been ruled out for the quadrennial games.
While Down has withdrawn from the squad in order to prioritise her well-being and will take a break from cricket, Kerr's injury from the end of their Women's Cricket World Cup campaign will sideline her for the Games. The quick bowler is on target to return for New Zealand's tour of the West Indies in September, while Down will make her return when she feels appropriate, according to ICC
