NEW DELHI: In response to ongoing injury concerns within the New Zealand cricket team, the Black Caps have called upon Kyle Jamieson to bolster their World Cup squad as a precautionary measure. Jamieson, who was previously with the squad in India as cover for Tim Southee, is set to join the team in Bengaluru ahead of their crucial pool game against Pakistan on Saturday.
New Zealand's head coach, Gary Stead, explained that with fast bowler Matt Henry awaiting the results of a scan on his right hamstring and fellow pacer Lockie Ferguson recovering from an Achilles injury, it was essential to have adequate cover in place.
