New Zealand trio ruled out of Sri Lanka T20Is
New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Isabella Gaze, seamer Hayley Jansen and batter Bella James have been ruled out of the upcoming three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. The trio will be out of the series due to injury setbacks.
Wicketkeeper-batter Polly Inglis and left-arm seamer Bree Illing will replace Gaze and Jensen respectively for the T20I series. Allrounder Flora Devonshire will replace Bella James. Polly Inglis and Bree Illing made their international debuts during the ODIs last week. While, Flora Devonshire has received the maiden call-up.
"We're all feeling for Izzy, Hayley and Bella. It's disappointing for the team and the players, but I know those three have the determination and resilience to bounce back,” NZ Women head coach Ben Sawyer said.
"Bree and Polly had a really positive start to their ODI career. They both showed great intent and execution and I'm confident they're ready to take on this next challenge. Flora's shown a lot of all-round potential at the domestic level and is another exciting young player that has qualities consistent with what we're looking for in the White Ferns."
The first T20I will be played on Friday at Hagley Oval.
