AUCKLAND: New Zealand’s star fast bowler Adam Milne ruled out from the World Cup after suffering heel injury.
According to reports, The ICC has confirmed that the Event Technical Committee of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 has approved Matt Henry as a replacement player for Adam Milne in New Zealand’s squad for the knockout stage of the tournament.
Milne felt discomfort in his left heel following the quarter-final against the West Indies on Sunday and subsequently underwent an MRI scan on Sunday afternoon.
