Injured Kiwi bowler ruled out of England tour

 

New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult has been ruled out of the rest of their tour of England with a back injury.

The 25-year-old was left out for the third one-day international at Southampton on Sunday to have a scan, but the Black Caps have now confirmed he will fly home for further tests.

Boult, who has 46 one-day wickets for New Zealand, is their third frontline bowler to leave the tour injured.

All-rounder Corey Anderson and fast bowler Adam Milne have both flown home.
