New Zealand Bowler Kyle Jamieson Sidelined By Back Injury
Fast bowler Kyle Jamieson faces another long spell on the sidelines after suffering a stress fracture in his back, New Zealand Cricket announced Saturday. Jamieson has been ruled out of cricket for at least six months after scans revealed the injury following New Zealand's first Test win over South Africa in Mount Maunganui this month. The towering seamer took match figures of 6-93 but later complained of back pain, which ruled him out of the second Test. The injury is in the same location as a fracture which required an operation in February last year but team medical staff have decided against another operation.
