Quick ruled out as New Zealand shuffle ODI squad for India
Blair Tickner to miss the next two matches of the ODI series against India, with Kristian Clarke added to their squad.
New Zealand have been forced into more changes to their squad for the next two games of their five-match ODI series at home against India.
Fast bowler Blair Tickner was struck by a ball while batting during the second match of the series in Wellington and the 33-year-old will be forced to sit out the next two fixtures with India as a result.
His absence sees fellow quick Kristian Clarke added to the Black Caps' squad for the next two matches in the series, while there are further blows for the Kiwis with a pair of other quicks set to miss Tuesday's fixture in Hamilton.
Matt Henry will miss this clash as he continues to recover from the knock he received from teammate Devon Conway at training, while Lockie Ferguson will be sidelined for the remainder of the series as he battles his quad issue.
