New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan has sustained a stress fracture to his pelvis.
He will not be able to play cricket for at least six weeks.
McClenaghan injured himself while playing for Middlesex in the ongoing NatWest T20 Blast. He has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament.
Middlesex's Managing Director of Cricket, Angus Fraser was quoted,
“
Losing Mitchell is a big blow for us. He is an outstanding white-ball bowler who brings variety, skill and nous to any side he plays for.
”
New Zealand's next international assignments are Test tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa in July-August. McClenaghan has not been named in the squad for those tours and so will have plenty of time to recover.
He will be hoping to recover in time for the ODI leg of New Zealand's tour of India in September-October.
