New Zealand wicket-keeper batter Tom Latham has been ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against Pakistan with a fractured right hand, New Zealand Cricket said on Thursday. Latham was struck on the hand by a delivery while batting in the nets during training this week, with an X-ray revealing the fracture which will require a cast and at least four weeks rest and rehabilitation. Head coach Gary Stead confirmed Henry Nicholls would replace Latham in the squad, with current T20I captain Michael Bracewell to continue to lead in the ODIs, with Mitch Hay taking the wicket-keeping gloves.
