Mon Nov 11 22:50:36 UTC 2024: ## Ferguson Out of New Zealand’s Tour of Pakistan Due to Injury
New Zealand fast bowler **Lockie Ferguson** has been ruled out of the upcoming tour of Pakistan due to an injury sustained during the recent T20I series against Sri Lanka. Ferguson picked up the injury in Sunday’s match in Dambulla, where he achieved a hat-trick.
The 32-year-old has been a key player for New Zealand across all formats, with one Test, 65 ODIs and 43 T20Is under his belt. This setback comes as a blow to the Kiwis, who will now be without one of their most potent bowlers for the tour of Pakistan.
The tour, which starts on April 14, includes two Tests, five ODIs and three T20Is. The announcement of Ferguson’s absence comes after a series of victories for New Zealand. In the just-concluded Sri Lankan series, they triumphed in the ODI series 3-0 and the T20I series 2-1. However, the absence of Ferguson will undoubtedly test New Zealand’s bowling depth in Pakistan.
