Wellington, October 31 (Udaipur Kiran): Ahead of the third and final ODI against England, New Zealand have made a change to their squad, bringing in Northern Districts all-rounder Kristian Clarke for the first time. Clarke replaces Matt Henry, who has been ruled out of the series due to a left calf strain.
Henry sustained the injury during the second ODI in Hamilton and will now return to Christchurch on Friday (October 31).
The 24-year-old Clarke has been in impressive form in domestic cricket. Playing for Northern Districts in the Ford Trophy, he recently scored his maiden List A century and also took three wickets for 57 runs to help his side defeat Central Stags.
Clarke was part of New Zealand’s squad for the 2020 Under-19 World Cup, where he showcased his all-round talent. Since 2022, he has represented Northern Districts across all formats and was also part of the New Zealand A team on the Bangladesh tour earlier this year.
