Martin to miss BD one-dayers
WELLINGTON, Sept 24: New Zealand fast bowler Chris Martin has withdrawn from the One-day International series against Bangladesh next month because of a hamstring strain.
Team manager Lindsay Crocker said on Wednesday that Martin would be replaced by Michael Mason for the early part of the tour to Bangladesh.
Martin, who has been playing for English side Warwickshire, was expected to return to the team in time for the two-Test series against Bangladesh after receiving treatment in New Zealand.
The first ODI will be played on Oct 9 in Mirpur against a Bangladesh side depleted by 13 defections to the rebel Indian Cricket League.
The first Test starts in Chittagong on Oct 17.—AFP
