WELLINGTON, Jan 4: New Zealand all-rounder Jacob Oram is under another injury cloud after suffering an Achilles tendon problem during the defeat to West Indies in the second One-day International in Christchurch on Saturday.

It has been another injury-hit season for Oram, who flew home from the Test tour of Australia with a back problem and then succumbed to a calf injury as he prepared for the series against West Indies.

New Zealand coach Andy Moles said on Sunday the latest setback could be linked to the previous calf problem.

“The calf is fine. It’s now just a case of finding out the extent of the referred pain he has in his Achilles tendon,” he told NZPA.—Agencies
