India and Pakistan out of ODI series
Adam Milne has not been able to train properly due to a hamstring injury. He is not sure about his fitness. That’s why he has withdrawn his name from the ODI series played against India and Pakistan. Milne is in no mood to take risks. Because New Zealand has to play 6 ODIs against India and Pakistan in 16 days. According to selector Gavin Larsen, this decision has been taken by mutual consent.
According to him, taking this decision has not been easy. He further said, he was our main bowler for the upcoming tour.
