2015 ICC Cricket World Cup -NZ pacer Adam Milne ruled out of World Cup, Matt Henry replaces him


New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne has been ruled out of the remainder of the cricket World Cup after suffering pain in his heel and has been replaced in the squad by Matt Henry, the team said on Monday.

The 22-year-old had been suffering pain in his left heel for the last two weeks, coach Mike Hesson said. While he was pain-free before the quarter-final against West Indies, it had 'flared up again'.

Adam Milne, who bowled Chris Gayle for 61 in New Zealand`s 143-run quarter-final victory, has taken five wickets for 199 in the tournament and kept seasoned international Kyle Mills and Mitchell McClenaghan on the bench.

McClenaghan replaced Milne when a shoulder injury kept him out of the Bangladesh match during the pool phase.

Matt Henry, who has only played eight ODIs, has impressive career figures of 21 wickets at an average of 15.42.
