By IANS News October 01, 2025 • 09:22 AM View: 405

Australia T20Is: Rachin Ravindra has been ruled out of the three-match T20I series against Australia, with Jimmy Neesham replacing him in the squad, New Zealand Cricket said on Tuesday.

Ravindra collided with a boundary hoarding during a fielding drill at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Tuesday and suffered a facial laceration that required stitches.

"We’re all really disappointed for Rachin to be forced to miss the series. He sustained a major laceration to his upper lip and nose area which required specialist and intricate stitching and will take time to heal," New Zealand coach Rob Walter said.
