The Event Technical Committee has approved Kyle Jamieson as a replacement for injured bowler Matt Henry in the New Zealand squad. Henry suffered a right hamstring injury during a match against South Africa. Jamieson, who has played 13 ODIs for the Black Caps, will now join the team in Henry's place.
This is not the first injury setback for New Zealand, as captain Kane Williamson also sustained a thumb injury recently. In Williamson's absence, Tom Latham has been leading the team. Despite these challenges, New Zealand remains in the third spot in the tournament's points table.
Jamieson, known for his skills as a fast bowler, has been training with the squad and is ready to contribute to the team's campaign. The 28-year-old has previously returned from two back injuries, and his inclusion in the squad brings depth and quality to the bowling attack.
As New Zealand gears up to face Pakistan in their upcoming match, the question remains: Can Jamieson fill the void left by Henry's absence and help New Zealand secure a spot in the semifinals?
