    ICC T20 World Cup: Matt Henry will leave New Zealand’s campaign at the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 during the Super Eight stage after being granted paternity leave to return home for the birth of his second child, following the match against England at the R. Premadasa Stadium.

    Henry has been one of New Zealand’s top bowlers in this tournament, taking six wickets in five innings at an economy rate of 7.38, making him the joint-highest wicket-taker for his team.

    “Firstly, we're all very excited for Matt and Holly on the arrival of their second child,” New Zealand coach Rob Walter said in a statement. “It's a significant moment for their family, and we're wishing them all the best.”
