LONDON: New Zealand paceman Adam Milne has been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing One-day International series against England with a “low-grade” hamstring injury, the team management announced on Saturday.

The 31-year-old suffered what was described as hamstring tightness during training before Friday’s series opener in Cardiff.

The right-arm quick, also selected in the ODI squad to travel to Bangladesh, will remain with the squad in England to work on his rehabilitation.

His injury has led to a call-up for Ben Lister ahead of the second ODI.

Lister, a 27-year-old left-arm medium-pacer, is already in England with Kent, to play in the closing games of the County Championship season.

He has represented New Zealand in 10 T20 Internationals and won his solitary ODI cap against Pakistan in Karachi in May this year.—
