“We’re gutted for Lockie. He showed in the space of just two overs what an asset he is with the ball, and he’s also brought a lot of leadership to this group, so he’ll be a big miss heading into an important ODI series for us,” Stead said.

“To be ruled out so early in a tour is always tough to take, but we’re hopeful his recovery will be short, and he’ll be back out on the field in no time. Adam is a like-for-like replacement who brings genuine pace and plenty of international experience, so we’re looking forward to welcoming him into the group,” Stead added.

Lockie Ferguson: An Asset For New Zealand

The first ODI between New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be starting from November 13, Wednesday at Pallekele International Stadium.

Lockie Ferguson recently became the 5th bowler in Men’s T20I to bag a hat-trick. It was his magical spell of 2-0-7-2 that paved way for New Zealand’s dashing victory. The Kiwis defended a low score of 108 in the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka.
