New Zealand fast bowler Matt Henry has officially been ruled out of the ongoing five-match T20I series against Pakistan. Henry, who had earlier been included in the squad for the fourth and fifth T20Is, will not take part in the series and continue his rehabilitation. Henry has been out of action since the Champions Trophy semi-final against South Africa, where he picked up a shoulder injury. 

Meanwhile, Zakary Foulkes, who had been added to the squad for the first three games, has been retained for the remaining two games. In another change in the squad, Kyle Jamieson has been left out for the last two games. In place of him, Will O’Rourke, who had earlier been included in the squad for the first three games, has been added to the squad for the remaining two games. Currently, New Zealand are leading the series 2-1, with Pakistan staging a remarkable comeback in the third match with a nine-wicket win. 

NZ T20I squad: Michael Bracewell (c), Finn Allen, Mitchell Hay (wk), Tim Robinson, Tim Seifert (wk), Mark Chapman, Zakary Foulkes, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Jacob Duffy, Will O'Rourke, Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi
