In a significant setback for New Zealand, pacer Matt Henry faced a hamstring injury during the match against South Africa on November 1.

Henry, a crucial asset in the Blackcaps’ bowling lineup, had played a pivotal role with 11 wickets in seven matches during the World Cup 2023 campaign.

However, his performance was marred when he experienced discomfort in his right leg during the 27th over of the game.

Having bowled three deliveries in his sixth over, Henry had to leave the field due to the hamstring issue. The incident led to discussions between Henry, Trent Boult, Tom Latham, and Mitchell Santner, highlighting the concern among the team members.
