New Zealand reveal fresh update on injured Blair Tickner
The pace-bowling stocks of New Zealand have taken another blow after the latest update revealed that Blair Tickner is unlikely to take any further part in the ongoing second Test against the West Indies at Basin Reserve. Tickner was stretchered off the field on day one of the second Test after diving full-length at fine leg in an attempt to stop a boundary.
The left-arm quick landed awkwardly and immediately clutched his left shoulder. He was treated at the ground before being rushed to the hospital for observation.
"Black Caps pace bowler Blair Tickner will not bowl or field, and is unlikely to bat for the remainder of the second Test in Wellington, after dislocating his shoulder while diving to stop a boundary on day one," New Zealand Cricket said in a statement.
"Tickner, who was taken to hospital for treatment last night, will join the squad at the ground today as he awaits further specialist assessment to determine his return to play."
Notably, Tickner had been central to New Zealand’s success, producing a four-wicket haul (4 for 32 in 16 overs) that helped bowl out the West Indies for 205.
