New Zealand fast bowler to sit out home series against India

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that a New Zealand fast bowler will be unavailable for the home series against India scheduled later this year. The decision was communicated by the governing body without providing further details on the reason for the player's absence. New Zealand Cricket will have to adjust its bowling line‑up for the series, which is set to feature several matches across the country. The Indian team, preparing for the series, will now face a slightly altered New Zealand attack. The ICC said it will continue to monitor the situation and update stakeholders as necessary.
