Amelia Kerr ruled out of remaining ODIs against India
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: New Zealand women’s all-rounder Amelia Kerr has been ruled out of remaining ODIs against India after tearing her left quadricep muscle in the series opener at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
In that match, Amelia suffered the injury during her spell of 4-42 and had come out to bat at number nine, where she remained unbeaten on 25, as New Zealand were bowled out for 168 in 40.4 overs in a chase of 227.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said in a statement that Amelia was taken for scans the morning after the game held on October 24, where New Zealand lost by 59 runs. The scans revealed a grade one quadricep tear requiring approximately three weeks of recovery.
NZC added that Amelia will return home on October 27 to start rehabilitation, with the side not going to call for a replacement in their squad with the final game of the series to be played on October 29.
“We’re really gutted for Melie. Injuries are always a challenging time for a player and we know how disappointed she is to not be able to play these games. Everyone knows how much of an integral part of this team Melie is so we’ll certainly miss her but we’re wishing her a speedy recovery,” said head coach Ben Sawyer.
