Kyle Jamieson, a pacer from New Zealand, may miss a year of cricket after receiving a second stress fracture diagnosis. The 29-year-old experienced some difficulty during the first Test match against South Africa at Bay Oval, but it didn’t stop him from taking six wickets. Subsequent scans disclosed the specifics of his ailments, but he was declared ineligible for the second test in Hamilton.
Kyle Jamieson had back surgery a year ago, and regrettably, the same area is affected by his most recent ailment. This time, surgery is not necessary, but he will be sidelined for an extended period of time. Speaking on the same note, the pacer said that he has had a really difficult few days and that he expects to make a good comeback after getting over the obstacle.
“These past few days have been some of the hardest for me, but I am incredibly appreciative of the help I’ve gotten from my family, friends, teammates, medical staff, and support staff. Kyle Jamieson released a statement, saying, “I know injuries are a part of life as a cricketer and at my age, I am hopeful I still have many more playing days ahead of me.”
“I have a rough plan of action for handling it. I am aware that there will be challenges on the mental and emotional fronts in addition to the physical ones; the latter will likely require more work. You simply recuperate and rebuild. everything’s almost like everything runs on autopilot,” ESPNcricinfo cited him as saying.
Getting this news is difficult: Gary Stead
Gary Stead, the head coach of New Zealand, stated that Jamieson will have the support of the team while he heals. He said it’s difficult to accept the injury news because the cricket player has worked hard in international cricket.
“Kyle Jamieson has worked so hard to come back to playing cricket for his country, so hearing about this setback is difficult.
Positively, we will support him wholeheartedly during his rehabilitation process because we are aware of his strong desire to continue representing New Zealand in cricket. He remains resolute,” stated Stead.
