Recently, New Zealand added fast bowler Ben Sears, who is yet to receive a cap, to their ODI team in preparation for the three-match series against Bangladesh. Due to Kyle Jamieson sore left hamstring, this move is being taken as a preventative measure.
The head coach of the New Zealand team, Gary Stead, stressed the necessity of caution when dealing with Kyle Jamieson. Especially at the beginning of our home summer, he stated that they don’t want to rush or force him.
Kyle Jamieson might be able to play if needed, but the squad is choosing to be cautious rather than take any needless chances.
“With Kyle, we’re proceeding cautiously. Especially in the beginning of our home summer, we don’t want to rush him or push him back. Ben could play in this first game if it’s really essential, but we don’t want to take any unwarranted chances. Ben is accustomed to playing for a team, and it’s encouraging to see him fully recovered for the Wellington Firebirds, according to a remark from Stead obtained by ESPN Cricinfo.
Although he has played in six Twenty20 matches and was included in the ODI team for the Chappell-Hadlee Series against Australia last year, the 25-year-old Sears has little experience as an ODI. Sears gives the team more promise with 36 wickets at an economy of 5.62 and an average of 33.77 in 29 List-A games.
Now that their recent home series has ended, Bangladesh will go to New Zealand.
Bangladesh and New Zealand will play their first one-day international (ODI) on December 17 in Dunedin, and their second and third ODIs on December 20 and 23, respectively. The teams’ most recent test series in Bangladesh concluded in a 1-1 tie.
Significantly, Bangladesh won the first game by 150 runs, but New Zealand recovered in the second game to win by four wickets, thanks in large part to an exceptional performance from Glenn Phillips. As a result of his heroic efforts, he was declared Man of the Match.
