Josh Clarkson will no longer join the BLACKCAPS squad ahead of the third match of the KFC T20 Series against Pakistan after being ruled out with a shoulder injury.
The injury suffered by Clarkson playing for the Central Stags in the Dream11 Super Smash means Will Young will now join the squad in preparation for the match at Dunedin’s University of Otago Oval.
Clarkson was set to join the squad for game three with captain Kane Williamson not traveling to Dunedin before joining the team again ahead of the final two matches of the series in Christchurch.
Young will join the squad after tomorrow’s match at Hamilton’s Seddon Park.
The teams travel to Dunedin on Monday from Hamilton.
