New Zealand’s Milne ruled out of England ODI series
London: Fast bowler Adam Milne has failed to adequately recover from the heel injury that forced him out of the World Cup to join the New Zealand side for their One-Day International (ODI) series against England.
The 23-year-old was ruled out of the World Cup before the semi-final and replaced by Matt Henry, who also played the final and has since gone on to make his Test debut against England in the ongoing match at Lord’s here, reports bdnews24.com
“It’s been a hard time for Adam. He has worked really hard to get back to full fitness but unfortunately he is still suffering pain and is unable to bowl at his best. He is a young man and has a long career ahead of him. So we are focussed on making sure he is 100 percent fit before he returns,” New Zealand coach Mike Hesson said.
Milne will be replaced in the squad by Ben Wheeler, who played for the tourists in their warm-up match against Somerset and impressed with a five-wicket haul.
“He showed great composure against Somerset and he has a big future. It will be good to have him in the squad to continue his development,” said Hesson.
New Zealand and England will play five ODIs from June 9 to 20.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
