In what seems to be a big blow for New Zealand’s ODI World Cup 2023 campaign, another star player has faced an injury hit in the tournament. After Lockie Ferguson’s Achilles, Mark Chapman’s calf concern, and Kane Williamson’s thumb fracture, now, Matt Henry has faced a tightness in his hamstring.
Henry sustained this injury in the first innings of the ongoing match 32nd match against South Africa. He had to leave the field when his sixth over was underway. Later, the Blackcaps updated about the further development in his case from their official Twitter handle.
“Matt Henry will have a scan on his right hamstring tomorrow after leaving the field in Pune during his sixth over and not returning against South Africa. A further update will be provided after the scan has been assessed,” read the post by Blackcaps from their official Twitter handle.
