3. Nathan Smith Injured: Foulkes and Lister Called Up for Zimbabwe Test
In a significant development for the New Zealand cricket team, Nathan Smith has been ruled out of the second Zimbabwe Test due to an abdominal injury. The left-arm fast bowler sustained the injury during the first Test in Bulawayo. Smith, who picked up 3 for 20 in the first innings, will require a recovery time of approximately two to four weeks. In his place, Zimbabwean-born all-rounder Foulkes has been called up. Foulkes, who has played 13 T20Is and one ODI, has shown promise with 57 wickets and 544 runs in 19 first-class games. Additionally, left-arm fast bowler Ben Lister has been added to the squad as cover for Will O’Rourke, who experienced back stiffness during the first Test. Lister, who has played three ODIs and 12 T20Is, will be a valuable addition to the team. New Zealand secured a comfortable nine-wicket win in the first Test, with Matt Henry’s impressive performance of 9 for 90. The second Test is scheduled to begin on August 7 in Bulawayo.
