T20 World Cup: New Zealand have suffered a blow with spinner Ish Sodhi being ruled out of the remainder of T20I series against South Africa due to a broken thumb.

Sodhi hurt his thumb while bowling at training on Saturday and scans have since revealed a break in the affected area and a rehabilitation period of up to four weeks.

That will see the right-armer that played three matches at the recent ICC Men's T20 World Cup miss the remainder of the home series against South Africa.
