Barely 11 days before their Champions Trophy opener against Pakistan, New Zealand’s leading pace bowler Lockie Ferguson has been rendered doubtful for the ODI tournament after suffering a hamstring injury during an ILT20 match in the UAE.<\/p>\n

New Zealand will play their opening Group A match in the marquee event against Pakistan at the National Stadium in Karachi on February 19.<\/p>\n

Coach Gary Stead confirmed the key bowler has undergone scans to know the extent of the injury and the preceding tri-series that also involves South Africa.<\/p>\n

“Lockie had a scan yesterday (Thursday) in the UAE,” Stead was quoted as saying by ICC ahead of the start of the tri-series match against Pakistan in Lahore on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got the images here and (we are) waiting for our radiologist to give us a report on the extent of it,” said Stead.<\/p>\n

Stead said a call on Ferguson’s replacement can be taken after the advice of the specialists.<\/p>\n

“Small hamstring injury, by the look of it, so we’re just waiting on a timeline of advice around that before we make a decision on whether Lockie travels here (Pakistan) or whether we do have to replace him for the Champions Trophy,” added Stead.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, 33, was unable to bowl the final delivery of his spell while playing for the Desert Vipers in the T20 league, and left the field due to the injury.<\/p>\n

He also missed the Vipers’ next match, an Eliminator, against the Sharjah Warriors.<\/p>\n

“Just a little hamstring issue, unfortunate. Tough night; wish I could’ve bowled the last ball,” Ferguson, who has played 65 ODIs and is just one wicket shy of completing a century of scalps, had said after the match on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
