BLACKCAPS spinner Ish Sodhi has a confirmed strain to his left hamstring, sustained while fielding in the third T20I against Pakistan in Napier last night.
Sodhi has returned to Christchurch today and will have scans to ascertain the extent of the strain and the recovery plan, although he’s expected to be out for at least two weeks.
Opening batsman Martin Guptill suffered a laceration to the pad of his right index finger while trying to stop a ball in the field in the same match.
Guptill had the wound cleaned and closed on the night and his rehabilitation will be determined following the results of an x-ray on the injury.
